If one meditates on nothing,
does one then attain nothing?

Silence is the loudest sound never heard

pumpkin –
you were the life
of the party

I am expert at self-destruction

If this life is spent looking for someone to blame,
then all you have to blame is yourself

when the boat is sinking
bail out both sides

define infinity

a blind man hears
what we don't see

a seed drops
a tree is born

going green –
a stocking cap
and extra sweater

icy rain
in the Zen garden -
Buddha smiles

flu blues -
his rattling teeth
keep the beat

bloodsucker -
a mosquito
...in November?

reset the hands
at midnight -
one hour younger

chilly morning...
a rooster auditions
the dog

keeping time -
my hands
miss a beat

thud! squirrel -
it wasn't an acorn falling that you heard,
your tail now hangs on an antenna

rain,
and inside
the serenade begins

zen garden -
Buddha sits
in rain water

a heron feeds
casting ripples
on the water
