In the year
of the rat the attic has
run out of wheat.

The light
among the rafters of the room
drags along the floor.

A narrow waist
you follow with your gaze
the birch tree forest.

The water lily
in the sun and stagnant water.
Dragonfly in flight.

The quietness of the graveyard.
A proud cypress
and warrior's mound.

along the deserted coast
the waves are quieting down -
at the end of the day.

Fingers on the map
and a journey to the unknown.
A green morning.
 

Cold air
and half-open door.
Cat on the threshold.

On the floor lie
the actors and the masks.
The rose on the table.
 
 

New Year Eve
is over again.
Dirty snow.

An old lady-teacher
waters a stolen violet
at dusk.

The summer drought.
A dog and a cat joined
in the shade.

Picture by the window.
It is raining
on the left and on the right.

Autumn morning.
A fallen chestnut leaf.
Yellow memories.

Unburnt candle
on the mother's grave
is lit again.

closing my eyes
the storm's roar at the mountain
become loader

New Year's morning--
a pine tree has been hidden by
last year mist

Autumn roses
but their scent like
the spring ones

Afternoon sun -
a butterfly's shadow becomes larger
on the wall of school

The crickets!
Before and after
reading book.

Hot summer day --
hard to recognise the cranes
painted on the fan.

Unexploded
yellow NATO bomb --
a field of dandelions.

Plenty of steps
and only some faces --
autumn fog.

The leaves are falling.
There are ever more
trees in the woods.
