BLACK & WHITE HAIGA/HAISHA

 

untouched snow - the tin cock spinning all alone

snow storm - the grand father's moth-eaten scarf snows of yore - smelling an orange with closed eyes

sound of bells - my father burying flowers under furrows

by the stove - on grandfather's knees only a few patches

house for sale - waiting on the door's threshold a cricket abandoned house - a path through the nettles to the ripe cherry

barbed wire - snow falling over the scar

slippery walkway - the widow spreads ashes by the gate

summer rain - beyond the rainbow her wet shirt

harvest Day - mother counts the calluses of her hands

cherry blossom trees - I meet Basho at an antique shop

exiled at home - on the bottom of a cup signs of bitterness

summer rain - the mouths of plaster lions  large open

loneliness - the tree house is far too high today

epidemic -  blowing through the window  all  dandelions
