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 –

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.
