The Records of a Travel-Worn Dig-Bag II

Arriving at the site, we establish our camp. On the mounds made by the ruins of buildings some four thousand years old, we erect canvass shelters.  Such are the fleeting homes we return to again and again in our scholarly migrations.

Owls below the moon --
fluttering white in the dark
our tents on old tells.

The Narrow Road to the Far Conference I

Full of spring urges
animals migrate homewards:
scholars gathering.

On Returning Home Late

Quiet city night.
The lamps of insomniacs
light my way to bed.
