─ haiku



Tying my son's shoelaces
for his first school day
I make a wish



Another WWI Memorial -
thinking of wars I hold
my son's hand tighter



One last look at it
and the old gardener
cuts the rose



This pregnant cat,
more careful than ever
to cross the road



The spring snow
has melted over all the graves
but one



mountain sunset ~
among pines
one red-leafed tree



In this hectic world
I prepare tea for a friend
not seen in a long time



In the last boat
to reach the shore
the biggest catch!



This friend
I thought I knew ~ in his car boot
a hunting gun
