so many times
we have walked in the park
with our dogs
parakeets greet us
in every weather

Listen

Where old women talk
down by the frozen river—
come, let us listen.

walls glitter
as the number 12 goes past
reflected sunlight

Super Bowl Champions

who dat?
from the ruins of Katrina
to Super Bowl champions
New Orleans' Saints
harbingers of hope

showers of snow
the motorway rumbles
behind the hill

the wind howling
rain batters the windows
my hat, tied on

Strange deafness
hanging in the crisp air
curled up leaves

New Year's Eve

the romance
of new year's eve
is missing
this time too
I may as well report it

suspense in grey
as the damp suffuses all --
next door's dog poop

Patiently waiting

to serve me again
my favorite bench

.
sometimes you lose...
the light goes out on another
crisp afternoon
.

Not Yet Spring

a snarling dog waits
crouching on the horizon
the cold bite of frost

zen garden
covered with snow:
zen garden

(Mainichi Daily News)

sullen clouds
leave the streets grey and wet
crisp packet colour

February begins -
where did I put the list
of my resolutions ?


***

début de février -
où ai-je rangé la liste
de mes résolutions ?

the stillness of white
ruffled by birdsong --

spring cannot be far

The Hunter.

brown-white wings beating
a barn owl hunting above
Orion looks on

morning rain
to wash away the snow
cold pizza breakfast

The Gossip

it rains, it plummets
the sheets of ice one confesses
one's frailties to
have already learned your sins--
the waning moon, the gossip
