Andromeda

 
 
 

geese’s fall farewell—
 
Andromeda’s freewheeling
 
past my north window

Farewell

 
 
 

Past the garden gate
 
a spiderweb in tatters
 
flutters in the wind.

Breakfast

 
 
 

breakfasting alone
 
crack in my jade-colored cup
 
with tea leaking out

Name

 
 
 

first name or last name—
 
perhaps the old waterfall
 
doesn’t have either

Glance

 
 
 

in a single glance
 
taking in the almond tree
 
and the gnat’s left wing

Look

 
 
 

in a single look
 
taking in the mountain range
 
and one white pebble

Planting

 
 
 

planting potatoes
 
during the dark of the moon
 
poems in their eyes
