Evening on the porch—
two shadows trade small daring moves,
laughter in the air,
and the moon keeps quiet score
as night leans close to watch.

Lanterns after rain—
fireflies gather in soft knots,
summer hums in leaf

north wind whistles
through the window chinks
twitching trees—
stealing time to write
my confidence rattles

Night question settles—
crickets stitch the dark with hints,
dawn nods, unafraid

The following haiku is presented on faded yellow background and illustrated with a sumi-e painting of a cat in the shape an enso. It reads: grey tabby curled on the quilt— unfinished enso

grey tabby curled
on the quilt—
unfinished enso

Folded paper sky—
rivers ink their quiet paths,
home waits past the ridge

everyday
filling in the spots
with space

walking out
in the middle of the lecture
on astrology
we see summer stars
in each other's eyes

He who stands on tiptoe is not steady. He who strides ahead does not go far. He who displays himself is not luminous. He who justifies himself is not distinguished. He who boasts achieves nothing. He who is proud will not endure. From the perspective of the Dao, these are called excess food and useless growths. They are detested. Therefore one who follows the Dao does not dwell in them.
