Maple leaves in the canopy above us rustle in a late afternoon breeze. Grasshoppers continue singing. Oh, how blue the sky! I savor the last flavor of…

  • Two Nighttime Tastes: My latest @ImageCurve #haibun

    I savor the flavor of the first bite of freshly grilled chicken. And yet, somehow, I simultaneously taste the plain slice of pizza that I ate over two hours ago. Autumn Nightmoistening my templeone drop of sweat Photo by Ivana Cajina first published in Image Curve, February 13, 2020

The near-midafternoon sun casts their pale shadows across neighbors’ houses like so much shadow theater. Except for the cold, it’s a day to visit their grave. Spring with…
