birds


low over the valley,
honking geese,
blossoms of fall





hopping up roof from the arbor
grape thief jay
flies prize away





102 in the evening shade –
birdsong welcomes night
slowly, softly

garden yin, garden yang
doves and jays
pecking at scattered seed





dilapidated birdbath
a flash, a splash –
a bird

with apologies to Bashō and his old pond




cawing out

everyday pine-top crow
takes the high ground
caws out to the world





sundown –
a confusion of crows,
the cawcawphony begins

sleek jay eyes scattered seed . . .
eyes me eyeing him . . .
sprints to fence, to tree . . .




no caws

pine-top crow
gazes into distance empty,
flies off





bare branches soak in silence
broken once only
by the cry of a crow





black and white -
crows, egrets
in rice fields, feeding





one-legged jay,
hops, pecks,
screeching flies off

east flying crows
caw & caw,
announce the fall of night





one-legged jay
scruffier than the rest
hops about scattered seed




dusk…

dusk in the valley,
crows gather, flock,
10,000 caws





inside the gift shop
two captive birds
sing for each other

all jays
under heaven
squawk

one dove
gracing
the giant pine–
