Happy Halloween

spooked by the autumn wind leaves scatter

laundry Sisyphus sighs

broken moonlight I will have to know you again

dragon's claws ripped the indigenous karst

ripe persimmons bowing three times with mother's memorial prayers

frosty morning without a home Hell looks inviting

squirreltail each thought overleaping in leafdance light

[onion]

this onion never finishes after all I'm a ordinary man

moss covered stone Buddha's bare belly winterized

leafless elm the wind takes a bough

(autumn rain)

autumn rain my reincarnation as yellow

as if it didn't matter October rain

today a little of everything midnight soup

(memory holes)

moth wing memory holes in the moonlight
