20th Oct 2006

The red leave-flames dance,
on the cold, autumn tarmac --
Cold fire on black ice.

10th October 2006

Frost on the windshield.
A blurry view of the dark --
Just like my birthday.

5th October 2006

Silent rose shaped cloud.
A cold winter afternoon --
My long lost childhood.
-------
Sultry humid night.
First short, cold monsoon shower --
Fresh sheet. New poem.
-------
Slow rain on the trees,
gently washing drooping leaves --
Cleaning memories.
-------
Warm, whispering winds,
mourn in the bamboo forest --
Her last fading breath.
