other-line linked haiku    october 1980-june 1981

as the fog thickens

that song again of bessie's
a neighbor wants to buy
the dying elm

alone late night breath
ing of the wood stove

the short day
letting the cat out
letting the cat in

heart to heart talk
and a self portrait

reeds frozen
after smoking
our oralness

mountain in haze
behind a billboard

i think back to that morning
we shared an old toothbrush

it would have made sense
the speeding ticket getting home
rather than to work

new strings on the banjo
up late listening for a song

on our minds now
manure and seeds
and signs in the breasts

our love will it too fade
(like grass under a fallen stone)

no phone calls
nothing in the mail
the full moon

Brussels Sprout 2:1 1981; 100 FROGS, Hiroaki Sato, 1983
