lightning flashes

over distant hills -

cricket song

 Kent

​

monsoon rain . . .

across the paddy fields

a pealing bell

Samantha

 

the fading

call of a night bird

starlight

Kent

 

moon halo . . .

inside the pagoda

a scurry of mice

Samantha

 

eyes flutter open

to a blinding sunrise

crimson sky

Kent

 

over the scarp

a luminous shore

. . . noon stroll

Samantha
