My neighbor’s pigeons –
Evening sun in their wings ~
Trained by the whistle.



My neighbor’s pigeons –
Evening sun in their wings ~
Trained by the whistle.
Family picnic –
Swifts circling, feed on the wing ~
A fine stand of pines.
Swimming facing down –
Chasing the sun sand ripples ~
Small fish ignore me.
–
Two moped girls pass –
The passenger is stroking
Driver’s ponytail.
–
Contact lens bubbles –
I brought a set of ten pairs ~
Helps to measure time.
–
Swim to the island –
A church once stood here ~
Now, a lost sarong.
–
A holiday ends –
Inflatables left behind ~
Drifting in the breeze.
A moment of calm –
Deciding what to read next ~
Or to read at all.
Much bigger ants here –
Trying hard not to kill them ~
Some kamikaze.
Beautiful jasmine –
The scent growing with the dark ~
Yet, the lane is blocked.
