haiku

familiar faces

familiar faces
and whole body tail wagging
welcome signs of home

to gaze in wonder

to gaze in wonder
the moment that death approaches
within her presence

Tokyo subway ride

Tokyo subway ride
compression down in the pit
butt rub with strangers

a bamboo forest

a bamboo forest
with wind tickling the leaves
ripples on water

wander in the sun

wander in the sun
tasting samples of the fruit
sake happiness

evening arrives

evening arrives
broken by a lone streetlight
a girl waits nearby

quiet descending

quiet descending
among the rocks and the stone
a little boy cries

revel in the sun

revel in the sun
and stand among the cherry blossoms
while they drift on by

anticipation

anticipation
those savory aromas
waiting for a bit
