an everyday mind—
peach blossoms

It is not every day
That you lose your country
Some folks never do
And I, thankfully, am one of them
But others can go no further
Than seeing the blossom leaves
Fall from the trees
Onto the gravel path below

Summer night:
in my eyes starlight
hundreds of years old
George Swede

Northern lights
Streets of Scandinavia
Plains of distant love
In this
The city of storytellers
Parliament buildings
Provide early morning shade
For the salmon fishermen
Whose rods rest ready
Over the clear, ice-cold, water

dusting off
his father’s sheet music—
spring moon
Kris Moon Kondo

Dust behind the door
Dust from the earthquake’s roar
Dust beneath the floorboards
Dust to show you know the score
Dust inside the troubled soul
Dust from the freeway’s fall
Dust under the shadow
Dust to realign the call

Jasmine
white,
just white,
opening to white space.

Inhibited

Inhabited
By Jasmine
Instead I walk
Instead I help
Instead…
That’s as far as it goes

No change of mood
Is gifted by artificial flowers
Only freesias
Are for the one way of the one love
