Haiga 47

Haibun 38
modus operandi
when i do die and not soon i hope i want people to say ‘who was he anyway’. the only way your sins can be buried is if your kindnesses are also forgotten. maybe it is just me but the living need to live their own lives and any memories of me tend to weaken not enhance any influence i had on them. while i live dont hate me dont love me just be with me.
pulling petals
off daisies
i forget why
Haibun 37
in between a thousand sighs
taking a break from self pity. i light a cigar and sip a 16 year old scotch.
tail
on the ground
a dragon kite
mocks
my buddha nature

Haiku 14
the distance
between us lengthens
fog in the cemetery
skeletons
in the closet
the poems i never wrote
empty gourds
tapping
out the sound of the breeze

Haiga 44

Translation by Makoto Ueda
Haiku 13
cherry blossoms i would love to put them in a poem this winter night
a scarecrow disappears in the field fast falling snow
winter day
even my buddha
starts frowning
my moleskine
a binge of words…
all on the margins
