junicho # 1

winter sunlight
pours through the window
lightens the mood

a mere shadow
of my former self

make it up
as you go along
my way of strategy

one stick of incense
offered each morning

a gesture
without speaking
anniversary

umber grasses fade to white
morning frost's first kiss

colored jewels
floating on air
autumn leaves

stopping traffic
turkeys cross the road

close together
they rest among flowers
hostas and ferns

just a pinch of salt
no moon to speak of

two loons court
on the melting lake
our evening stroll

hear the incredible
chorus of morning birdsong
