Lake Michigan
blue of the water and hills
wrap us in
...

still missing Yokohama
we just slept in car
in our first visit
...

the leaves i take them
as your shapely hands
softly and gently bidding me
to be close at your side
...

sichuan earthquake
the heartturning and chilling
aftershocks two days later
...

thanks for photographing me
because it puts a perspective to me
my sense of things, my face, my smile
and i love the black and white because
...

animals are animals
they have brain not
large enough to guide
them through propriety
...

out of the chrysanthemum
three inchworms doing
a glide dance
...

sticking to to Buddha's
be compassionate dictum
he lets rat nibble at altar food
...

Jerangkang Waterfalls
the water rushes down to
two young lovers
...
