.

autumn river
I count the moonbeams
on his hair

*

train whistle in the distance deer tracks

.
*

city in winter –
loneliness sweeps through
the terraces

.
*

rumours –
rush of water
over stone

.
*

grilled fish –
reducing the moon's glare

.
*

chicken broth
the slow unravelling
of time

.
*

lavender moon the weight of a butterfly

.
*

first haiku
soothing fragrance
of green tea

.

of time
