HAIKU

2004

 

 

Thirsty plants, it’s hot

Delicate garden hose spray

Bird swoops through - a bath!

 

 

 

new morning’s coffee

your message comes - awaken!

sudden tears of joy

 

 

gray squirrel comes each day

drinks from Buddha statue’s tray

bows her head to pray

 

 

house on fire, stop it

spitting I try - spit spit spit

have I spit enough?

 

 

world’s on fire, stop it

spit it out - no not this time

we need an ocean

 

awaken from dream

oh - maybe a dream is this

how can I be sure?

 

 

awaken from dream

in another dream that's real

dreams within dreams - oh
