So much night around the street light no one's safe 2. Welcoming the sun dewdrops on dry leaves an epitaph 3. Filling emptiness of the room with ikebana 4. After the quake a dog sniffing his master's presence in the rubble 5. Through the long shadows in the morning remembering gradual death POEM The sky frightens with lightning and rain raises neither fire nor quenches the earth I've lost a chance to create despite ritual end of the day and her parting with a kiss now sulking with a glass in the dark it's stupid to talk about nirvana HAIKU 1. Desire for diamond dies with price I can't afford: curse astrologer 2. Each sun aggravates sadness moment by moment: watching lonely street 3. Wish I could be part of the quietude this morning the sun's so promising 4. Basking in the past they grow backward and yet talk about the future 5. Meeting her once and so much love in one night to last the whole life 6. Narrowly escape the midair web of spider perched on hibiscus 7. Night after night the same 'yes' and 'no' in bed sleep in frustration 8. Such a wild change in the mirror beside her-- I look a stranger 9. Two toads croaking in the drain celebrate sudden shower 10. After extraction he gives me my old tooth list of drugs and new bill --------------------------------------------------------------------------- uXu #587 Underground eXperts United 2001 uXu #587 Call Terraniux Underground -> +46-8-7777388 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
