Come, investigate loneliness!
a solitary leaf
clings to the maple tree.

I like to wash,
the dust of this world
In the droplets of dew.
– Basho

In the shadow of the cherry blossom
complete strangers
there are none…

The geese fly off..
and it comes to me
that I am still here.
– H.F. Noyes

in one room
everything I have
and a window

I finish my tea
The cup still full
of warmth
– Philomene Kocher

Fireworks.
I close my eyes
for a second look
– John Stevenson

A deep gorge…
some of the silence
is me
– John Stevenson

Old passport
the tug
of my father’s smile
– Yu Chang

No sound to this
spring rain-
but the rocks darken
– Anita Virgil
