quack. cluck.
chicken and duck go down —
the hatch

cool blue sky
above the dumpster
pigeons flutter

winter sun
in my eyes — a flash of
sidewalk ice

[wednesday]

all night
the wind howls — the length
of a dream

one leaf floats;
in this cup of tea —
Mm-Tai's burp

a fence rattles
the sound of the wind
eats snow

a warm glow
shines — from a puddle
half a path-light

from the sea
to the clouds, to the snow —
a puddle glint

another stack. this time for reading…

Sacred Peak — Tue, 07 Jan 2025 23:48:12 GMT

another stack. this time for reading in a hot bath. 🛀📚

tonight I'm unsequentially 'reading' these 4.

Mad in Translation is insane, 2 pages of explanation per very short poem because the Japanese imagery is so layered, and quite a lot 'vulgar', which makes it even more fun.

Shobogenzo is my old friend and I adore Dogen's depth. Book 3/4. I'm reworking my way through. My last longform was on one of the fascicles from book 3.

The other two are filled with short encounters; one with Lin-Chi and the other with Huang Po.

writing
in my dream — leaves me
before tea

opening
the door — squeaks and
hisses a cat

meeting
me as them — again
this dream

blowing in,
this Chinook hits —
a headache

slowly slowly
already draining away —
the year

a tap drips,
my mind — is leaking
too

begging bowl
hissing, scratching, biting —
breakfast cats

four
duotangs — one year
of me

sitting
for twenty years — a coin
in the lining

incubating
all alone — a brown half-robe
chrysalis

the glare
of a blank page — waiting
for words

putting
away Nostr — picking
up a pen

falling asleep
a cat purrs — waking up
a cat purrs

a cap of snow
a scarf of snow —
brrr statue

only seeing
his gait — recognizing
a friend

hoar frost
nose hill all in white —
6-no-8-crows

counter top
a cat jumps off
the sound of ooof

frozen
light shimmers and dances —
snow sparkles

by the fire
on again off again —
this sweater

a cat
laps from the tap
sprays me

the first time
writing 2025
without a 4

talking to
my dead mother in law —
talking to her plant

-15 C
the exact temperature of
dead xmas lights

a flicker
takes off across a charm
of magpies

silent and still
yesterday's footprints —
and their boots

[note: a flicker is a type of woodpecker]

looking out
layers of cloud twist
inside a pearl

meowing
back at a cat
jumps up

ten thousand
diamonds sparkle — the snow
all dressed up

soaking wet
the sound of the dishwasher
in waves

crème anglaise
eyeing it for breakfast
just tea

his shadow
crosses — the yard
before him

hanging on
by a thread — holds
the last page

last night's snow:
the time it takes to undo
resolutions

a magpie
scratches in — the snow dust
grafitti

brand new —
this snow dust doesn't care
about melting

...

my hand
still writing 2024
again

twirling
his moustache in the mirror —
opposite me

suddenly
a house-bug disappears
into a cat

soon to be
last year's powdered snow —
this morning

patiently
his straw hat hangs —
out 'til spring

snow dust
one and the same
white hare

before dawn
the fakeness of the city —
lights the sky

the road
up 'til now — ends
in haiku

writing
along with my shadow —
a cup of tea

that
uncomfortable feeling —
the last page

glimmers
the stars in the snow — shine
for the sky

meeting up
here — on the counter
a spider

meeting you
for the first and last time —
melting icicle

an old book
lost in translation
haikus

the last snowfall
almost melted now —
his hairline

vast black sky
written in black ink —
spills a dream

[saturday, before dawn]

warm glow
of the candles becoming —
the morning

brown half robe
still hanging in the closet —
old friend

the sound of
one cup of tea —
still asleep

arranged
symmetrically —
we drink tea

lonely
black sky — looking
for the moon

lined up
begging for alms —
tortie cats

kitty cat
filtered wat service —
servitude

Sky the cat
tasting the water droplets —
cling to her face

we walk
pointing to unusual —
gravestones

nothing
at all to point to —
moonless

poetry reading —
immersed in Wei Ying-wu
draws a bath

listen...
the sound of dawn — calls
chick-a-dee... dee...

flying over
from far far away —
goose wings

sometimes...
missing the compost bin
for the magpies

empty cup
looking up for the moon...
a sliver

fish hook
a jet trail catches —
the moon shrinks

remembering
he looks over the bridge —
iceflows

right at
home in a twig hut —
magpies

all alone
gesturing and singing —
street crazy

my hometown
right here and now —
sunrise
