a hint of jasmine
the rest
is moonlight
laughter across a fence the first orange-tip
mudflats the redshank’s beak drips dawn light

reflected
in your eyes
my doubt
frogpond, 41.4
some work in ‘Otata’ #36
aspen leaves
the storyteller
in me
summer breeze
one hand
on her straw hat
hogweed umbel
the spider secures
—its line
moonlit river
by now we know
how it feels
going deeper
into the moment
a bee’s shadow
rain pattern
humming something
ancient

dry riverbed
a gull cries
into its echo
first day of school
he repacks his bag
just one more time

2 haiku in ‘Presence’ #61
new butterfly
its shadow stumbles
into mine
a pebble
sinks into its silence
river dusk

two haiku in Kō
in one breath
a feather lands
on its shadow

summer sun
a fly walks down
the dandelion’s stem

orb weaver
floats a line
on the wind

beachcombing
a cracked inkwell
filled with mud
.
end of summer
the smell of neoprene
drying
.
father’s day
a chair left under
the cherry tree
.
a redshank’s echo skims the river moon
