more 'ku train senryu _ ...

shoe/s

clicks ruby heels twice
walks into the silence between
cold drops of rain

forest

life is what you smell
in green air amongst small trees
shadowing newness

gamble

marriage ~ mirage sale
mid-life crisis, vehicles/
plastic surgery

voracious

carnivorous flower
with its voracious petals
and lethal honey

current

surfing low tides ~ tripped
by moon rising in the mist/
you - sorely missed

descent

deep eyes
I've dived into them before/
like the sky ♥

crescent

the moon barely
showing its pearly smile
a toe hold for god

cradle

baby's cradle board
all shiny beaded, brand new /
soon morphs to skateboard

home

a well worn heart
with wall to wall happiness
visitors welcome


soul

my sun is your moon
once we were in mad mad love
our souls sung one song


wind

my skirts are oceans
my breath the four winds blowing/
my heart, shining moon


winter

winter white with wet
cold seeping through floorboards and doors
dreamers of Spring

hooked

nervous fish look/
oh limp baloney on a hook-
crookedly smiling

sauce

barbecue, grilled in
ambrosia burnt sienna
secret's in the sauce


restore

reconfigured
put yourself back together
gathering clouds


splendor

candor from red lips
splendor in high prairie grass
greening the brown earth


eagle

eagles vision long
into the future to pull
the present forward

evident

she sees with her heart
eyes can be so deceiving |
revealing it all

codex/codices

I plagiarize myself
tattoo all obsessions
blue-black codices

on my most delicate parts
dark flowers bleeding pages

gesture

give me a signal
a smooth hand ~ in a mudra
move in for the kiss

snow

white birds huddled
at the edge of azure ponds
embracing south winds
