Already eaten 
The summer clouds-
What now Autumn wind?

With no summer moon
And the house guests all gone-
My dark home!

Heads or tails
Each day in the summer field
The same white horses.

After summer's labor
Take a rest
Fallow fields!

Just last night
Did the owl give a hoot
After long absence.

Just who tells which ant
To move what
And where?

The moth curled up for death
In a tea spoon.

Selling my home-
Already missing 
The fig tree.

Wanting to hide
But wanting to tell the truth
In a small haiku.

Splashing water
Shaking dreams.

Melting
Popsicle moon.

Wild boars,
A whole family.

Trapped flies,
The swallows above.

Crickets tonight-
Slicing dusk-
Tiny knives.

With a book-
In bed with the crickets
And the stars.

Acacia leaves-
Autumn tint, reminding me
To call skin doctor.

Grilled sardines-
A full moon rising
Through thick smoke.

That child's whimper
Even louder 
Than town traffic.

Exploding silence-
An old friend 
Breaking my tea bowl.

Summer love-
Midnight moths try to screw 
A naked bulb.

In such a large bed!
And just me
With so many books.

Cycling past a house
Where a friend died-
Twilight falling.

House intrusion-
A trapped cricket 
Snaps evening silence.

Watching ants
Hurry scurry

The white teeth
Of a young girl.

But I'm trapped too.

My laundry
Perturbing ants
On the clothesline.
