On Possibility

The sea glimpsed through glass --
how many words are held in
this little ink pot?

Smoking Haiku

Curlicues of smoke
write characters in still air --
a craving for peace.

On the Gift of an Inkpot

This sepia ink
seems to hold a hint of blood --
a trace of old wounds?

On Afternoons in the Tower

Daylight fades away.
My computer screen glowing
in the dimming light.

The scholar regrets
his optimistic abstract -
typing on the train.

On Working Well

Writing, re-writing.
Hammered out from a blank sheet -
a bright copper bowl.

On Forgetting and Surprise

Folded paper frog.
On its belly, characters -
forgotten haiku!

On Winter Writing

Sparrow in the snow.
A punctuation of tracks -
black ink on paper.
