Hoofsteps

once upon a time 

she ran up the street of breathless 

anticipation

men stopped to watch as she

a gazelle far from the dry savannahs

made her way up the hill

her breath warm and quick

her heart beating faster faster

faster than the big cat who waited

once upon a time

Evening

pink and apricot

against the palest blue

trees soften along branch edges

Spring lies hidden in Winter's embrace

I see her shy smile as I drive by

Waiting For New

here is the old bridge

here the new

November's light soft and round as a pearl 

matches my memory of you 

farewell

adieu

Haiga

wings spread edges

buildings beautify corners

crisp bite of sky

Haiga

building sharp edges

light against dark against light

afternoon detail

Shi

light

falls

against 

tomorrow
