When the moon rises
river quartz glitters the shore;
stars beneath the sky.

Brushing ash off bone
half men crawl though bitter fields—

Every so often
the willow twists and shivers;
a long sleepless night.

Almost dawn. (senryu)
Hiss of the heater
and sweaty limbs of some man;
her eyes seek daylight.

Vernal equinox. (hiaku)
Ribboned plastic bag
enlaced within an elm tree;
robin weaves her nest.
