deep droning
from the motorway
a lark sings

afternoon rhapsody
perpetual cry of
cicadas

rapsodi siang
garengpung di dahan turi
terus berdengung

little sparrow
I regret nothing today
flowers in the wind

A homage to La Môme Piaf  

. 

the bones of trees
shaking in the gusting wind
sparrows bowled along

water water every where

water water every where

black cat
turns to look -
yellow of daffodils

i've learned about
the meaning of being alone
if only you're here
you'd know my new friends
a tremor and a poetry book

sudah kupelajari
arti hidup menyendiri
jika kau ada
kenalilah teman-teman baruku
tremor dan buku puisi

hard spikes of grass
whitened by morning frost
sparrows on the roof

daffodil spikes
show their first yellow slivers
currants flush pink

let it snow
isn't it almost spring
hand me a flake

sparrows cheep
in the hour before dawn
dogs snore

Tanka..rootlike

the promise of spring
forgives the divine plan, to chart
fallen leaves
and igloo weather
our lips bubble, rootlike

blackbird hen
on the bird table
sparrows glower

no sunshine
penetrates the stratus
seagulls on the playground

sweet smoke

labial folds of tulip leaves
among last year's withered browns
variegated arum

soaking up
after the monsoon rains
--scent of frangipani

perfumed air
melts the heart
that aches

green fuzz
blankets the willow withies
morning mist

spring -
blackbirds
trembling

yellow blossom tree
eyes full of sleep
and wonder
