handwritten to Eric Amann, ed. Haiku Magazine:
better as one-liners? most on the following pages were drawings
first--then typed out to 'look at'
[caps & punctuation added when typed]

A puddle . . .
and tonight
no moon.

No moon . . .
no water . . .
the evening . . .

From puddle
to puddle:
the moon.

Filling
the puddle:
moon.

Pissing in a dry hole
to see
the moon.

Full moon--
closed
flower.

Moon
coming
inside the house.

A kite,
a cloud,
above . . .

All the night
in
one ink dot.

Bird
flying to and from
at the same time . . .

Watching
a birdless sky
pass.

Stump
stretching
skyward.

june 12 1999 as one-line:

a puddle and tonight no moon

no moon no water the evening

from puddle to puddle the moon

filling the puddle moon

pissing in a dry hole to see the moon
[a piss]

full moon closed flower

moon coming inside the house

a kite a cloud above

all the night in one ink dot

bird flying to and from at the same time

watching a birdless sky pass
[i watch]

stump stretching skyward
