Tail Lights

the rain
down
the window pane;

rivulets blur
your
departing
tail lights

Majestic Farewell

The sun departs
in royal raiment:
gold and blue

Leaving us
all poorer
for his absence

Bon Voyage to a Hotair Balloon

larkspur hyacinths
congregate
pump erose kerchiefs
while the standing girl’s
red umbrella
sedates:

hinomaru

Depart

Silent falls the snow
And long your shadow casts
Blinding me to all others
The rigid goodbye —
Your back
