Deadnettles bloom white
around an arcane haven
Sun birds through clear skies

Bicycling around
I pass my old neighbourhood
Only strange faces

On the garden swing
her hair at times shrouds her face
like clouds the full moon

Mountain Deity
inside its crystalline womb
a fairy gestates

Gathered sipping tea
the Teacher's silence expounds
whilst cicadas pray

The fan turning hums
lolling muggy memories
Beer cools in the fridge

Rising and falling
conditioned phenomena
Grasping at shadows

The lamp casts shadows
a nocturnal butterfly
sets its wings ablaze

Train whistle afar
pierces the desolate town
What was I dreaming?

Lord Pandemonium
gallantly at the helm strays
Demon night parade

Chiaroscuro moss
wisps-in-an-orb-breeding-brume
gleaming back on stone

Sedulous the sea
on the shore--treasure, refuse
Somnolent the sky

Dusk at cloud-forest
a solitaire bird warbles
while Venus winks back

Through naked branches
an entangled pearly kite
flutters for release

Clear libation streams
from the whitest of jade cups
Black the hand that pours
