  2. Spirit Of The Wounded God

    Lost in the endless maze of burning books,
    Percival searches for the Holy Grail
    while ignoring the homeless, sick, and poor
    who linger at the gates of Paradise,
    till the sparkle-eyed fairy Tryamour
    offers him

  3. Two Windows

    A Tanka Sequence

    I

    In the still morning
    you open the window wide
    beside the table.
    A cool breeze stirs the orchid,
    cooling my cup of coffee.

    II

    Across from your light,
    I open the other pane.
    The air grows stronger.
    Leaves whisper into the room
    like all the things left unsaid.

    III

    Below the hillside,
    a woodpecker drums the trees,
    red crest among leaves.
    A car passes on the road,
    then fades into the morning.

    IV

    The wind kisses me.
    I think of you and of us:
    two windows open,
    facing different landscapes,
    yet filled with a single breeze.
