the fire of haiku (8 haikus for steven gress)
twisting off: few leaves
rummaging through. a lovely
city of the God!
2
towards the swaying blossoms
a pile of buildings!
from the windless fall.
3
windless autumn day:
quietly shaping, a valley
at the mountain-bend.
4
only diving in
the tiger, until the next
diver diving in.
5
mirrowred by the falls;
into the rock-shadow--
rock. windless autumn day.
6
a few lights appear,
within this shallow morning,
lulling me to sigh.
7
blowing off, the coulds
reflect half the sun, wishing:
the clouds, clouds, sun, sun.
8
in the cold sky, snow
dance, falling....from one blade to
one flake. i'll make fire!
