Early Autumn
autumn dawn --
she sees a white hair
in my mustache
autumn dawn --
mother serves white rice
on an almond leaf
autumn sky -
patches of twilight
in the falling leaf
harvest moon
taproot of a carrot
shows up red
Mid-Autumn
autumn haze –
a breath of illness in
my speech
on a stone bench
mother fingers her wrinkles
autumn loneliness
inside the hut
an old clay pot…
rainwater harvest
autumn drizzle
a wallah shakes
the orchid bouquet
Late Autumn
monsoon ends
…the sea breeze rising
into rainfall
monsoon's end . . .
clouds darken into
rainfall
monsoon ends
…the lake filling into
emptiness
autumn evening –
each tombstone’s shadow
joins the next grave
in the aquarium
stillness of the goldfish
autumn dusk
ice box ...
your last word
resonates in me
