The pruned tree
hiding nothing but
its shadowy past

Grate glaze ribbon
roast steam slice
boil – carrot carnival
Zenku #848
Perennial heat and
seasonal blindness the
comfort of tea
Zenku #847
My pen tip
still eager to
write, though inkless
Zenku #846
One tree after
another spruiking shade even
on sunless days
Zenku #845
Broken glass reflecting
sunny highlights
A useful beauty
Zenku #844
The slow flood
patiently rising to
meet important customers
Zenku #843
A fledgling flood tops
the river’s banks
and trickles at first
Zenku #842
The flood river’s
silt tidily left
in furrowed layers
Zenku #841
The flood tide
rises slowly a
low rolling spread
Zenku #840
Red rooves darkening
Their mouldy adventures
mapped tile by tile
Zenku #839
Storm-cleaned air not
making hay fever
while the sun shines
Zenku #838
Cigarette smoke from
a passing car
Scenting another’s passing
Zenku #837
After the fast
After the scan
Scanning fast food
Zenku #836
Trees market
the wind
noising it up
