Wet Afternoon - rengay

neighbour`s drill
I try to forget
my dental appointment
Graduation Day—
my son's gap-toothed smile
watching
Animal Planet—
the hyenas laugh
moving house again
I look for a cable TV
socket
power cut—
suddenly nothing to do
lazy afternoon
a dragonfly still
on the same reed
sunrise
a different shadow
behind each mountain
grandma's day
earthen vase
with love
He's gone
the newspaper is still rustling
on the platform edge
Walking the streets
my shadow is already
behind the corner
winter night
full moon is
silvering the grass
blue child fingers
on a sheet of paper
pastel rain
sleepless night
three thousand roses
on wallpaper
sunday morning
behind the snowdrift
childlike laughter
silent night - rengay

my son chooses
the longest red sock
carols CD
I remember her voice
global warming
Santa Claus drives
by car
Christmas Eve feast
the barking of the dog
near my house
the first star
best wishes...by the Skype
silent night
only snowdrift
from place to place
Lovers
Mariusz - Jacek
an evening cocktail
frozen strawberry
wet in her fingers
moonlit garden
only a scent of his perfume
only a scent of his perfume
touching her breast
uncovered
full moon
the flock of crows
darker than the dusk
darker than the dusk
between two hills
pair in love
Buddha on the table... smiles
cherry blossoms -
the empty mat
of a mendicant monk
the empty mat
of a mendicant monk
CREATING OUR WORLD

my son removes the dust

home again
my garden gnome
among the newspapers

among the newspapers
looking for Christmas lights
an old plastic Jack O' Lantern

after the 'Clone Wars'

Easter Haiku
Resurrection Mass
the empty grave
full of light
awakening…
the Easter moon still
in the same window
Haiku
long winter...
in a stork's nest
still only the moon
power outage...
suddenly magnolia blossoms
in my window
loneliness—
a dandelion seed attached
to razor wire
road home
I stop to pluck
the forsythia blossoms
spring garden
on the watercolour lilac
a caterpillar
rainbow...
nasturtium flowers
taste of rain
Winter Afternoon - rengay
math class
I count each snowflake
on the window*
the whiteness of snow—
my car needs a wash
between my pickup
and the school door
ice slide
end of shift—
the postman carries
a pair of skates
an empty rink—
the splayed paws of an old dog
deserted square—
the scent of mulled wine
fills the emptiness

Haiku
Valentine's dawn
two lines of footprints
in the fresh snow
streetlamp
snowflakes' shadows
so grey
morning love
the blizzard intensifies
outside my window
deserted park
naked trees
full of crows
insomnia
the moonlight
filters through curtains
river swelling
he loosens the belt
on his trousers
street mime
the weight of an unseen bird
on his hand
sunset—
snowdrifts beside the house
change colour
winter solstice
the whistle of a blackbird
through the misty air
home again
height marks of my children
faded
autistic boy—
an unending snowstorm
in the glass ball
thaw
a chirp of sparrows seeps
through my window

Tanka
buzz of voices
on the crowded beach
behind the red buoy
I dive
in the deep blue
meadow at dawn
the skirt aerial dance
amidst the poppies
past the
crickets' song
Closing time - rengay
quiet afternoon—
a barber dozes off
in the armchair
rising moon—
the sheen of her long hair
watching me
with this Mona Lisa smile—
a mannequin
abandoned shop
somebody's footprints
on the dusty floor
closing time—
all the lights go out
cloudy night
I bring her a firefly
in my hands

how deep the silence!
in the spider's web,
a grasshoper
abandoned house
a mossy pool
dotted with tadpoles
old bridge
a falling fragment
breaks the moon
spring rain -
in the cherry orchard
white speckles on mud
old door -
over the worn threshold,
New Year's frost
