Seven Springs Ago
Seven springs ago
I knelt in awe and wonder
where bright flowers bloomed.
Where bright flowers bloomed,
I worshiped as a pilgrim,
seeking holy signs.
Seeking holy signs,
I felt as though a feather
had swept clean my soul.

Moon Maiden
Even in clear glass
I cannot see Moon Maiden,
but I catch her scent.

with one vibrant word.

Comely
For want of scarlet,
Sky Maiden dons grey instead—
still she is comely.

Trucked
Fruits and vegetables
trucked from irrigated farms—
who will buy today?
When you munch mangoes,
mind your manners, my munchkins—
no mindless dribbling!
Let your dreams bear fruit—
mangoes, bananas, apples
papayas and plums!
