A sleepless spring night:
Yearning for what I never had
And for what never was.

Haiku: This Other World (1998)

Burning autumn leaves,
I yearn to make the bonfire
Bigger and bigger.

With a twitching nose
A dog reads a telegram
On a wet tree trunk.

I give permission
For this slow spring rain to soak
The violet beds.

Haiku: This Other World (1998)

A slow autumn rain:
The sad eyes of my mother
Fill a lonely night.

I am nobody:
A red sinking autumn sun
Took my name away.

In a drizzling rain,
In a flower shop’s doorway,
A girl sells herself
