ant5

the wind’s carved the leaf into a forest

night bird

enough notes

to fill the sun

hungry

sparrows bring me

into the light

rain

a god that never noticed me before the peony shadow

after the robin breeze long clear day

over the puddles a cicada’s double meaning

insect

less

rose

a dead beetle

brightly reflecting

the underworld

the ant

through the cicada wing

it’s taking away

our silence fogs the window the city inside us
