in late summer
the primates mated-
pandora’s box
in the cool of
fall the hare died-
pregnant pause
safe from winter
the seed grows-
tropical seas
buds bursting
the delicate flower-
time irrelevant
windy city
holds its breath-
first cry
a single smile
moves the universe-
daddy’s girl
The above senryu sequence is dedicated to my darling wife who on this day eight years ago gave birth to our Ava. Thank you again my love and Happy Birthday Ava.
