small, occasionally prickly
creature of few words

Pinned
cocoon woven in
the spectral lace of a leaf
death, life intertwined

brighter than the faded lane lines
a long road ahead

from the rotting railroad tie
a hardy blossom

The Dead?

No words
will bring them back.

Only words
will bring them back.

the fading fall bloom
offers its all, golden beads
to the tired bees

all eyes on the sun
casting its red ripples, while
beneath our boats
in the black, brackish water
ghostly jellyfish drift, bloom

Happy Friday from #Japan!

The scorching heat is over for this year and I'm getting in the mood for a much-needed #autumn - so hear are some photos from Ukan Valley, a fabulous location in #Okayama Prefecture.

there once were many
of these silver shard blazes
their brief, bright flare
already overtaken
by the crawl of vines and time

The birds were launching nearby and circling past, closer than I've ever seen them. I could see tiny cars wending down the highway, farms and fields. But that wasn't what they were looking for...

different perspectives
sharing the view with vultures
bustle, and decay

faint light, fading fast,
lonely beacons of summer:
mid-July fireflies

It feels like an odd sort of compliment when the turtles think I'm harmless enough that they don't have to leave their log when I pass by.

timid young turtles
warily eye the paddler
while their elders
know better than to bother
stay still, serenely sunning

rolled up poems corked in hull's holes
kept my craft afloat

full, closed summer buds,
color peeking through the edge:
