a butterfly
amidst fallen leaves
oh! took off...
dandelion seeds
short flight
into childhood
it's getting cold
spotting my way
with flashlight
laughing down the hill-
i'm late..
a summer train
november
frog sings
unaware of winter, there
mongolian husky
this train
takes me home

moon on this side
of a cloud
night on this side of the moon
a dog and a fishing boat
smelling the sea
smelling the sea
gooseflesh
of grass in the morning
dew
mooncake festival
bamboo
at the water's edge
someone
has left a newspaper
on the garden bench
snowflakes slip
from the back of the winter
night

my friend gekko
changed color again
spring
run
before wave can kiss you
a barefoot kid
merging, before
slipping down
drops
few drops
intercepting
the autumn sun
one month passed
still bitter
watermelon seeds
