evening chill

the last
cicada song of summer
evening chill

stillness
amid bird babble
dawn mantra

haiku

on the path
a crumpled snake skin
house to let

a hot weekend in Sydney

kite high
above halted traffic
breaks free

crowds
choke the mall
no space for haiku

afogato
in iced glasses
summer melts

pioneers felled
alerce forest giants
- more next millenium

Orsono II

Darwin saw the lava
spill down Orsono's slope
barren after all these years

Orsono

snow sculpted mountain
floats above the pine ringed lake -
moment out of time
