sudden swift downpour
greets five o’clock commuters
sun sets in distance
frigid morning run
beard hat or balaclava
would protect my chin

Year of the Dragon
shrimp fried rice undelivered
Chinese New Year gone

drinking morning tea
the monk is peaceful
the chrysanthemum blooms
Awakened at midnight
by the sound of the water jar
cracking from the ice
Winter solitude–
in a world of one color
the sound of wind
