always looking

always looking

for an angle--painted himself

into a corner

creche

setting up the creche—

the three-legged donkey leans

against the stable

Happy holidays to all!

sun on the snow

sun on the snow

a seagull's cry

pierces the morning

after midnight

after midnight

headlights drift

through snow

dew

morning dew

dissolved

still morning

branches

in the branches

of the artificial tree

last year's tinsel

shiver

a shiver

in the fallen leaves

passing cloud

again last night (tanka)

again last night

naked in the classroom

the wrong classroom

six months into retirement

my dreams don't want to quit

spin

spinning drier

her turtle-neck embraces

my t-shirt

attic

cleaning the attic

so this is where I've been

keeping my life
