“Death”

Death

Death blames not itself; /

it caries forth its duties /

and bears its burden.

Canyon in the sky — /

eroded by rain.

Cat’s eye

Cat’s eye with the fence, /

green as the summer lichen, /

focused as the dark wood.

Stray

Old black and white cat,

stray as the descending sun,

pauses for a meal.

A feast of old bread /

the squirrel appreciates, /

wary as I watch.

Their blossoms fleeting, /

sunflowers live briefly; yet, /

their beauty transcends.

August light

Burnt red sunflower /

hangs its heavy summer head /

in the August light.
