Lone
A child walks down
Streets paved by stone with hand held;
the pigeon flies off.
Admiration
Clouded day turns bright,
peon clouds part for monarch,
or eyes shift to you.
Necessity
Ceramic empty
plates reach, stir the pots again;
Distended stomach.
First Love
An empty meadow
the lark sings toward its mate;
no call is returned.
College
Tiger pounces out
from brush to land in water;
darkness cloaks lanterns.
Reality
When is dinner time?
It depends on what you are
eating: words or meat?
Inquisition
One fruit is bitten--
juice drips down his curving chin.
Demand another.
