standup meetings
a different leg
each time
widowed
a swan released
to the wild
sweet sixties
fruit flies circle
my point of view
unbridled ballet
on busy streets
dandelion tutus
winter wounds
gingerly dressed
apple blossoms
rănile iernii
bandajate cu grijă
flori de măr
sirens blaring
blossoms camouflage
the shelter’s entrance

another war
headlines become
front lines
air raid
two teddy bears
huddle together
war zone
blossoms take the empty
carousel seats
into my colours

loud singing
in the elevator shaft–
someone’s way
of coping with life’s
ups and downs

dolled up
in a beach tank top
and faux feather boa
a snow woman
winks at passersby

sunlit street
other shadows
walk in pairs
nude nylons
exotic ornament
in a bird’s nest
ciorapi de nailon
ornament exotic
într-un cuib de pasăre
Easter break
grandma hymns spinning
a cloud of wool
vacanța de Paști
bunica cântă torcând
un nor de lână
haiga #1: pandemic years
haiga #2: the polar lights
haiga #3: snowflakes
pandemic years
trees record them
in perfect rings
the polar lights
reaching beyond belief
solstice joy
snowflakes
falling into place
holy night
supernovae
family matters reaching
critical mass
the science
of exploring his atoms
nuclear fusion
