daybreak
a night of spinning
revealed by dew /cm

field mushrooms
for a hearty breakfast /nd

a new job
scrubbing the earth
from under his nails /cm

whose nag is this
trotting through the stream? /nd

Tai Shan's
seven thousand steps
under a bitter moon /nd

day in day out
struggling with the scales /cm

another night
spent curled up against
the tautness /cm

my wayward fawn
slips off out of sight /nd

a burst of gamma rays
from a passing
asteroid /nd

balloons
tied to a tiny wrist /cm

first spring bloom
pollen
already scattered wide /cm

silence
and a pint of green beer /nd
