There is a certain beauty in a broken cup. A delicate elegance in an abandoned building or a disheveled old man. Some ghostly grace to a tattered dress.

Wabi-Sabi is a Japanese expression relating to the wonder of imperfection. To be sensitive to the natural way of things, to deny idealism for what is and to revel in it is the path of a true seeker, of a true poet.

snapshots!                                                  
                                        the poet & the photographer

felled trees                
                                nesting Ferns            
                                               restful            

~~~

Temperate jungle
embrace all traces
of change

~~~

peeing in the rain                    
understanding the clouds

~~~

Leaf-fall carpet                          
conifer curtains                        
The living room

~~~

parallel the River                  
the road
much slower

~~~

bare-feet over needles                      
Redwood witnesses                          

~~~

                       under this
                                                            ­           a blank page

October sky                                          
the heat setting with the sun
                                               colors following

~~~

brush stroke clouds                                
                    the Moon shines through
the ink

wave-front
cloud-break
blue-grey-movement

~~~

below the wind
watching
Redwoods quiver

~~~

the hallowed wine glass
but ah!
the sweet on my lips

~~~

Fennel every Fall
through the chain link fence

~~~

the warmth of my lover
passed hand to hand
polished blue stone

~~~

dust
breaks the silence
sneezing

~~~

a Rose opens
aging
gracefully

~~~

proud Maple
among not yet
yellow Oaks

~~~

peninsulas
embrace the bay
wave-break kisses

~~~

white Aspens
out of sight
white Egret

~~~

Cypress light
spiked and pining

~~~

paying respects
around the lumber mill
procession of Trees

~~~

October road trip
picking haiku
from the breeze

~~~

cloud layers
puzzle piece
the sky

solitude is sweet
avoiding criticism

I'm naked bare and bleeding
Yet you love me still

old letters upon my desk
some are bittersweet.

the ideal outcome is
without survivors.
