Come, thief: poems

French horn

First light edging cirrus

The decision

Vinegar and oil

The tongue says loneliness

Big-leaf maple standing over its own reflection

Critique of pure reason

Narrowness

These also once under moonlight

"Distance makes clean"

Of yield and abandon

The conversation

Perishable, it said

Fourth world

Bruises

The pear

Alzheimer's

Heat and desperation

Left-handed sugar

The promise

Red wine is fined by adding broken Eggshells

The lost love poems of Sappho

Building and earthquake

Each we call fate

The visible heat

Sometimes the heart is a shallow autumn river

Love in August

Two rains

Washing doorknobs

Chapel

Tolstoy and the spider

For the lichens

Sweater

Seawater stiffens cloth

The inventive, visible hobbles

"Haofon Rece Swealg"

Shadow: an assay

The question

All day the difficult waiting

Wild plum

Sheep

The dark hour

Everything has two endings

Protractor

The present

It must be leaves

Haibun: a mountain rowboat

Green-striped melons

China

Come, thief

Sentencings

If truth is the lure, humans are fishes

Izmir

A blessing for wedding

Fifteen pebbles

The kind man

All the difficult hours and minutes

Rain thinking

Invitation

Contentment

The egg had frozen, an accident. I thought of my life

Three-legged blues

A roomless door

A small-sized mystery

Bamboo

A day is vast

A thought

Pompeii

One loss folds itself inside another

Stone and knife

Suitcase

My luck

A hand is shaped for what it holds or makes

I ran out naked in the sun

When your life looks back

The supple deer.
