oriental vision
crescent moon and morning star
night fades to light blue

matt and izz,
rushing up the hill
leaving the city behind
like a forgotten dream...
weekend at guga's and pappy's.
jubilant, meeting benjie,
their dearest friend.
enjoying autumn's first saturday...
matt and izz,
my grandchildren.

gathering sweet pears
from our little backyard tree
harvest moon rising

napping in my arms
rhythmically breaths
my daughter's daughter

flock of little birds
from the old mulberry tree
gracefully flies down
not unlike the soon to fall
melancholic autumn leaves

first day of summer
air conditioning full blast
people laugh outside
inside my little office
is freezing...where is my coat?

two ravens gliding
in romantic rendezvous
almost like dancing
