I.

Gaijin

Trying without zen structure

To know a form he does not.

II.

A feathered plume

Fountains up,

From the hawk's hapless prey.

III.

A pair of cutthroat magpies

Pick apart

A former friend.

IV.

Siphoning strength

From uplifts and thermals

Vultures circle.

v.

A spark

(A moment in parenthesis)

Lights a cancer stick.
