"another day in paradise"
inside Bruce's candy kitchen white and red candies
were sliding down the old candy machine. children
of all ages watching behind the shop-window.

male northern harrier hunting
steady wings. tight hug
of the land contour below.
in [s]low flight. he hunts.

spread of wings - tanka
foam, spread of silk wings
tracing the invisible
path over the sea -
a firm push off gravity
in crystal resonant air
(it is all there is)

"why is the sea king of a hundred streams?"
"why is the sea king of a hundred streams?
because it lies below them.
humility gives it its power.
therefore the sage stays low
so the world never tires of exalting him.
he remains a servant
so the world never tires of making him its king."
66th verse Tao Te Ching
W. Dyer compiled translation

palm leaves
isn't it so, that at dawn
a young sun bursts in the leaves
of the windswept coconut trees. shreds them
to slender barbs of feathers. the tender breeze
nestles between to keep the palms in balance
to slender barbs of feathers. the tender breeze
nestles between to keep the palms in balance
amidst the blustery storm near the shore
of my sleepless sea. and isn't it so, that
the same breeze wraps around my bare
skin now as i cast my bread upon the waters
long to return home. your arms to draw me near
of my sleepless sea. and isn't it so, that
the same breeze wraps around my bare
skin now as i cast my bread upon the waters
long to return home. your arms to draw me near
after the storm quiets the way i have always
imagined - the wind in my spread wings
loving you fiercely
more than ever.
a young sun rising.
rustling in the leaves.

they flew into each other making love

skeletal lace
skeletal lace is all that remains
of last season fallen leaves
painfully fragile and fading
at the very same place, where
a young sun eagerly weaves a nest
for the shortly to arrive spring

great blue heronry (4) - call for love
males begin courting females by stretching their necks vertically
and emitting loud cries. courting couples will cross their bills (and kiss).

encore - tanka
at the water's edge
the mountain bows at sundown
the lake quieting
savoring each impression
of sun's last glittering strokes
