the fragrant orange

continuing to tarry

upon washed fingers

playing on water

almost touchable

sunlight

east wind –

smoke wrinkles

blue sky

storm clouds –

seaweed sways

as the seal passes

monotonous voice –

blue ink still

carries the sound

Our plane’s shadow on

a touch of velvet

December sky

hanging low

Christmas Eve

blue lights on the trees

outline darkness

June rain

knifing through grass and clothes –

finches

chirp a high note –

asking, answering

of the billion stars

this one

the dawn-bringer

professor's e-mail...

a man with such a large

vocabulary
