a poor Zen temple
the single shoji screen makes
a spring teahouse


if Robert were here
he’d know this mushroom
growing on his grave



city pier
in summer heat
a cruise ship glides by


this and that
all week long
the yellow leaves falling



floating above
the morning haze
Ellis Island


house slippers
simply from being worn
they’ve become left and right
