now nothing left
but the fragrance

clear stars
in the cold night
after the planes’ roar
~Hideni Ishibashi
(A woman’s experience of WWII)
emerging from shell

softened by seas rough caress
taken from wild

Would you further favor us
with a dance…o frog?

On the low~tide beach
Everything we stoop to pick…
Moves in our fingers

Happy Sunday – long weekend 🙂
tentative spring lambs
gamble out of barn to field
old fat ewes as guides
