Overhead
Up there, satellites
Look down at us, wondering
Why we seem so small.

Stairs
Here is something good:
How her ponytail bounces
As she goes up stairs.

Snap
White crane in a stream
Hunting an elusive frog ā
One snap! No more frog!

Rain
Days of winter rain
Even a strong man looks frail
Protecting fresh bread.

Wares
Broken-down market
Broken-down people selling
Pots, bread, fish, pans, life.
