=========================
this chill that
comes with autumn
the memory of your warmth
and lost years trail off
with the wind
========================
torn sock -
covering the holes
with a foot
========================
childhood fun -
calling out to the
doggie in the cloud
========================
valentine avalanche
she looks for the name
that really matters
========================
in a prison i dwell
i long to go here and there
as i wish - to see you
it seems i must defy god
for creating me in such a state
=========================
i did not cry over
dad's death but wept over
human backwardness
how death, such inaction
can overtake us
=========================
the malay boy as i
praised his cap turned around
to quote a price
what a change, fifty years ago,
the boy would have run
======================
inaccurate watch -
he asks colleagues whether
he had been coming late
=========================
remembering elvis -
mom combs child hair back
with thick haircream
=========================
japanese bathhouse
the foreigner asks whether
she can bathe without being nude
=========================
