I'm still

traveling this

open road

hard to imagine it

running out

writer's block ...

at dawn I open the window

to release the silence

surrounded by nothing

I'm with myself

sweetly my sweater

keeping us warm

leaving the last persimmon

for the cuckoo

thinking about the

strength of bamboo

pretending not to hear

his question
