Farewell -

my heart heavier

than my backpack

The patience

of this empty field

in the night

Gardener's art -

raking the leaves

not the pebbles

Right before they fall

with the colour of summer sun -

ginkgo leaves

A brown line

along the rose petal -

her make-up

Blushing sun -

the last of the fig leaves

have fallen off

I alone

see her beauty -

7.15 AM

Black Pete -

the same shoes

as his sister!

The silence

booming down after

the chainsaw

Washed up

pebbles lost

in translation

The old willow -

a few poplar leaves

are visiting

The morning paper

in the cold letterbox -

a crack of light

A Dutch rusk 

with apricot jam -

sunrise

His overalls

on the clothesline -

the farmer waits for sun

The silence

under the umbrella -

rainfall

Autumn rain -

the last leaves

on the willow

Daylight too

gets blown away -

autumn gale

Sunrise -

the half moon

pales

One breath -

 the whole weight

of my words

The path -

moonlight on the mist

in the ditches

I walk 

to the moon and

get in my car

On the window

still holding night air

my sweater

The fields

dark and empty -

the moon full

Swirling leaves

in the empty fountain -

autumn in the city

Fog dripping

richer than rain

from the trees

Atumn moon

over the fog -

farewell

In front of the moon

a cloud of mosquitoes

captivated

Lost in translation -

the dog is cruising 

the kitchen floor

Somewhere a dog barks

everywhere the sun comes up -

Sunday morning

Withered leaves

at the Buddha statue

rustle a sutra
