Cold Water Shave

Disco bristles,

Sweat-less silk.

Bartender hair.

Step and drag,

Hip shake, drag.

Shower down

A hard night's dancing

Sun on the face

Cold water shave.

The Bonsai Master

The Bonsai Master Stunted tree, deprived of water, pruned and shaped in unnatural ways. Isolated in pebbles and dirt, leaves and bark, blossoms struggle to flower in shaded sunlight. The bonsai master cultivates an ascetic aesthetic, revels in repose, questions sincerity. - October 2018

Coffee Stains

Coffee Stains As the days disappear, so does she. Socks recede down my calves, resigned to failure so quickly. What a waste of fabric. A relic of warm weather: giddy bus rides across the Bay, eucalyptus tree certainty. I won't fall for that again. - December 2014

Kun-yomi 訓読み

Kun-yomi 訓読み I met her again, after many years, a miyako 都 girl. She, like I, lives in the shuto 首都. I believe in unmei 運命, because without it we would never have met. We share, on this Earth, one inochi 命. I have a rower's shinzō 心臓, large and built for patience. Yet, my kokoro 心 yearns for her now. - September 2018
