Japanese Style Landscape

Vapor wings emerge

Incense-breathing dragon bred

In earthenware pot

***********

A cooling zephyr

Capsizes Genmaicha raft,

Teacup sea claims luck

**********

Mystical cadence

Affords the heart’s hollow eyes

Unclouded vision

*********

The morning air sleeps

While I daydream over a

Cup of honeyed tea

**********

(then I took a dark turn)

In his eyes the eve,

The madness of laughing clouds

And rainbow puddles

=

The streets are his veins

His slick asphalt dreams, escape

Heroin highways

=

Submission for

Carpe Diem
