MARCH 2000
On leafless branches
tiny white flowers
name unknown
Jim Norton
4 a.m.
a neighbour I have never seen ~
watching the eclipse
Sean O'Connor
In a field I knew
my son digs
for fossils
LeRoy Gorman
Midnight passes
quietly, not embracing,
we stand together
Maeve O'Sullivan
Night of endless rain ~
how refreshing the sound
of the zazen bell
Morning service ~
the snow on my zafu
was it a dream?
Afternoon zazen ~
rain on the rooftops, in one ear
and out the other!
Bill Wyatt
A stiff breeze ~
magpies' tails
blown sideways
Helen Robinson
Unsold at dusk
morning-picked corn's
deeper yellow
LeRoy Gorman
Through the legs
Of the attendant, locking the gate
A cat enters the park
Basket's last apple ~
You may be wrinkled and off
But I'll eat you
Gilles Fabre
Along the highway
the end of the afternoon
shadows colliding
Sam yada Cannarozzi
