spring haze
the rickshaw man smiles
at his first passenger

one butterfly...
his son watches its pattern
he watches its course

abandoned fishing port
one egret
fishing

a drop of perspiration
onto the rusty bolt of my bike...
spring deepens

summer heat
the gossip of a widow, as she
bites into a cucumber

summer fireworks
how did I feel on that night
of the unfolding peony?
