Selected Work
 
the words
on the tip of my tongue
dandelion seeds
 
Milky Way
the numerical perfection
of a snail’s shell
 
 
 
wild rhubarb
that sudden yearning
for something more
 
scent of wind
a lizard steps out
of its old skin
 
 
 
after the squall
the tinkling concerto
of sailboats
 
endless sky…
we follow the twinkle
of fireflies
