warm winds
the kite's string
almost straight
summer rain
names and initials
carved in the railing
waves of heat
hitchhiker's suitcase
patched with duct tape
bamboo grove
a hundred ways
of entering
billowing clouds
the mill's overshot wheel
dark with moss
hemlocks
entrance gate
off its hinges
overcast day
bottom drawer lined
with old newspaper
morning star
the chained dog
still barking
second frost
the rattle of gourds
left on the vine
cold wind
a last few leaves
scratch at my door
acorns falling
even at this hour
someone knocks
