acid rain 

the twists and turns 

of my hardship

frozen waterfall 

layers upon layers

of white lies

a red scabbard

forged around the fire―

words flare then burn out

scaling the face

towards the summit

teetering

on the edge

admiring the view

conflicts’ fallout

over the earth

growing

into the sky

the mountain

twisting stone

to show off

twister

I turn my head

to study you

the old cypress

in the forest

twisted by wind...

yet it stands like you

strong and firm

your ridged wrinkles...
the spirals of tolerance

our deepest memories

surfaced

stealing my breath

the way you twist and turn

across the dance floor

shifting direction

no longer far-off

di una gonna rossa-

danza popolare

in the bird’s-eye view 

an abundance of silence— 

field-divider flees

all tied up in knots— 

aftermath of a windstorm 

stills the temple bell

clouds of a windstorm 

scent arashi shibori— 

memory on cloth
