Year 2002
Managed to write quite a bit, especially over the summer.
The new official Shiki list opened at the end of the year, Shiki-Temp closed down on New Year's Day, 2003.
as the clock strikes two, I briefly consider turning out the light |
||
a comforting thought: if I arrive late at work, I'll still be early! |
||
hands deep in pockets, if only to please mother, I greet my cousins |
||
Verdi's Requiem: if I can't hear myself think, what does it matter? |
||
naked birch but for the snow and two dry leaves |
||
a cardboard box: a table yesterday, dustbin today |
||
a pheasant hides from me, then calls from further away |
||
water strider drifts, takes a leap and drifts on again |
||
thoughts interrupted by a speeding butterfly right across my face! |
||
afternoon: four trains have passed — I counted the cars on every one |
||
time to change ringtones from chaffinch to great tit |
||
the birch twinkles in a street lamp's light as I come home |
