mango fruit...
green teardrops fall
beneath the oak moon

quarter moon zenith...
body had reclined breathless
white light on a block

image of the nail moon
between branches of mango leaves!
tears of a poet

monsoon brings rain---
south wields winds...
douses the yore.

cooling blossoms here---
arranged into new bouquets
to a torrid theme

burning embers crash...
pliable yule log laid low 
plays Christmas piano
