winter afternoon
it bares the waxing gibbous moon
into its full shape
* * *
true story
police arrest a man
for laughing too hard
* * *
cremation house
God judging the smells
through its chimneys

cremation house
God judging the smells
through its chimneys
sun catchers
flying pole to pole
the Arctic Terns
* * *
monsoon drops
over the wild grass cobweb
diamonds on hammock
* * *
winter
all the bamboos felled
weavers nests gone

second thought
I pick up a candy
from the ground

for some women
men are all their world
Venus flytraps

sick woman
on the oxygen cylinder
its cheerful bubbles
