Rabbit, Wave & Full Moon by Kano Tsunenobu, Wikicommons<\/p>\n

And Through The Open Window<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Singular<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Silence is absence<\/p>\n

And a mirrored complexion<\/p>\n

Wide-eyed, unbolted
\n <\/p>\n

Emendate<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Water thick as stone<\/p>\n

Like the space between spaces<\/p>\n

Tawny and waning
\n <\/p>\n

<\/a>Procession<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A mainstream margin<\/p>\n

Like a modern catchpenny<\/p>\n

And then we all go
\n <\/p>\n

<\/a>Elastic<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Heady and fervent<\/p>\n

Renegade extrication<\/p>\n

A color quandary
\n  <\/p>\n

<\/a>Elegy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The next installment:<\/p>\n

An elegy behind the break
\n 
\nCharging like light speed<\/p>\n

Taut<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Conjecture played out<\/p>\n

As sure as echoes return<\/p>\n

Replicate timbre

a blue heron emerges<\/span>
from rattling reeds<\/span>
\n 
\nbird watchers
the way one voice
drowns others out<\/span>

\nhome school…<\/span>
a hovering hummingbird<\/span>
makes corrections<\/span>
\n 
\nsounding its way<\/span>
across the moon<\/span>
a lone seagull<\/span>
