Sometimes the beauty
of my home world
is too big to bear

Too beautiful—a sometimes haiku
New Zealand
Under the pohutukawa
under the pohutukawa
tree it’s always summer
always autumn always winter
always spring
13 waves: vi.
vi.
It would be better
if this bach
had a bathroom.
I think I can safely say that.
(It
wouldn’t exactly be
this bach, of course.)

Thirteen Waves: ii
ii.
Let wood spread
along a beach.
Under the moon-cloud
toetoe will be glowing.

Almost
sunlight
on pohutukawa puddles—
almost home
