Thermometer

Silver mercury
Scrambles to ninety degrees
Summer’s last hot day.

Drill Team

The last cicadas
Shrill their dry trill through treetops
Rattled by the breeze.

Valedictorian

Tiger swallowtail
Flapping through the dappled shade
Chasing summer’s end.

Serenity

Deep reflecting pond
A watercolor painting
Of a summer day.

Summertime

The year’s hottest day
Nectar glistens in the sun
But the bees seek shade.

Astronomy II

Galaxies of dust
Swim through a shaft of sunlight
The attic window.

After Shiki II

Rainy April day
An umbrella windowshops
Outside the bookstore.

Takeoff

Up into the air
Through a milky sea of clouds
Finally – blue sky.

Wild Geese III

Cloudless autumn sky
Chevrons of migrating geese
Tattoo the sky’s cheek.

Hawk II

Pitiless noon sun
The stooping hawk and her prey
Cast the same shadow.
