"from first
to final cleansing tub-
all a dream!"

just inside the fence
to prohibited grounds
wild violets"

"a thing of beauty!
a new bride without a stitch
of dowry"

"mosquito squatting
the covers of a war epic
stained in blood."

"first childbirth -
the husband feeling he himself
did half the labour"

"within the narcissus
not the least shadow exists
of man's murkiness!"

"drops of dew?
or rays of moon
upon the grass!"

"heartbreaking indeed!
beneath an armoured helmet,
a chirping cricket"
