Rabbit, Wave & Full Moon by Kano Tsunenobu, Wikicommons
And Through The Open Window
Singular
Silence is absence
And a mirrored complexion
Wide-eyed, unbolted
Emendate
Water thick as stone
Like the space between spaces
Tawny and waning
Procession
A mainstream margin
Like a modern catchpenny
And then we all go
Elastic
Heady and fervent
Renegade extrication
A color quandary
Elegy
The next installment:
An elegy behind the break
Charging like light speed
Taut
Conjecture played out
As sure as echoes return
Replicate timbre

lake’s edge
a blue heron emerges
from rattling reeds
bird watchers
the way one voice
drowns others out
home school…
a hovering hummingbird
makes corrections
sounding its way
across the moon
a lone seagull
