PALM TREE MIND

The moon wanes !

The night glows

The clouds float by

In the  shadows of the palm tree

The mind is! 

NIGHT DRIVE

Night drive !

Street  lights twinkle

Windscreen  mist

The engine roars ! 

CRUMBLING BRICKS

Crumbling bricks!

Piled up!

Once a Home for many ! 

HASTY ENTANGLEMENT

Mirror on the wall

A  smile!

A beautiful reflection!

Lost to haste

A comb full of entanglement !

RICE FIELD SUNSET

The rice fields are green and  flooded

The herons stir and probe

At sunset !  

The murky water settles !

CERAMIC REMAINS

The world in a vase

 Perfection at the window

Toppled  now by the cold wind

Shattered  and scattered

Ceramic remains! 

UNTAINTED CARPS

In the lotus pond

The white clouds ripple

Untainted !

The crimson carp swims ! 

FRAGRANT LEMON GRASS

Another summer day

The sun blazes

In the shadow of a rock

Fragrant lemon grass! 

MOVING TOES

In this spot I sit! 

A thousand years have passed

Nothing has changed since

Yet! My legs cramp

My toes move again! 

RED CARPET

Warm blood soaks the carpeted floor

A carcass slumps down!

A life lost in slumber

Now! Finally Awakening!
