ocean ripples
the shape of wind
everywhere

sleepless night   dewdrops on the weeds

the day’s catch... 
trapped in fishing nets
fleeting sunset

rainy season
in the bride's bouquet
a seed sprouts

stormy night
my umbrella gets home
before I do

morning dew - 
my cat's eyes
asking to come in

spring rain
out of itself
a garden snail

upon reflection
the diving duck disappears
right into itself

origami skiff -
a piece of my childhood 
sails away

puddle
all my wishes
upside down

flash floods... 
she carries her world
in a basket

flooded village... 
a boy on the cottage roof
clutching his puppy

still pond
I sabotage the moon
with a stone

sea breeze...
I breathe in
your accent

summer’s end
wringing the ocean
from her hair

murky water
on the bridge railings
rusted love locks 

autumn –
a young janitor sweeps
yesterday's rain

after tsunami 
a surplus 
of emptiness 

neap tide
the old fisherman harvests
moon crystals 

a sudden downpour:
umbrellas mushrooming
upon the boulevard

rain in the puddle
I have nothing to give
to the street musicians 

dull day -
the way a raindrop
runs down the banana leaf

flood tide
covering the sand
with stars

boundless fog
from the other shore returns
only the carrier

big puddle
my son's first step
on the moon 

rainy season
the sky pours 
into my shoes

summer showers...
I taste the salt of a
distant sea 

off the stone
drop by drop the sea returns
to the sea

open lotus
a pond makes room 
for the rain

all eyes 
wide open
aquarium
