Posted on July 5, 2013 by skyraftwanderer

Empty vast heaven yields arced yellow to gleaming beetle horns. Trees topple, and topple. Under the idle willows the resting sage plays with splits of sunlight. Thoughts fritter, and fritter. ~~~ Gleaming beetle horns wrench shining arcs from the vast … Continue reading →

Moths Eyebrow

Maple Leaf

Posted on June 16, 2013 by skyraftwanderer

Great wind. Gentle snap. Maple leaf falls. Beetles wield forked heaven arcs. Through a great blaze the maple leaf drifts without burn. Great wind. Red kite, no string. Maple leaf in clouds. Twisting in dancing dragon paths. Spinning two-fold with … Continue reading →

Uncanny, and a Dragonfly

Posted on June 30, 2012 by skyraftwanderer

Ancient pine, in emerald, shine bright, shine weak. Oriole song, in clarity, sounds less, sounds more. Every year, ten thousand sames, ten thousand differences. The mirror in the sky gathers no dust. ~~~ Tall drift of a bull reed cluster, … Continue reading →
