blooming
in my entryway garden
a first rose,
'' butterfly '' ...
dew on the net
(M)

rainbow mallard silence
on the hanging scroll
your voice
offers a taste
of strawberries
(K)

sangria
in early summer
on my terrace
we kampai over
the international dateline
(M)

looking through
my crystal glass
your smile on screen
across the table
3000 miles
(K)

how many
seagulls or dolphins
hear our tanka
zooming by ...
underwater echoes
(M)

a gallery nest
full of wings
flutterings
the sounds of poems
cracking open
(K)
