rainy night
storing tap water
for tomorrow

abandoned house
the cricket's trill
from a cranny

Ramadan
a glass of water
untouched

Walking in Thailand: Part 3

breakfast
the street cook feeding
honeybees



so this is
the seafood restaurant?
roasting chestnuts



lotuses
before the buddha
yet to bloom



kind enough
to pick up a fallen leaf
the elephant



Thai song
the monk’s rooster
just as loud

Walking in Thailand: Part 2

temple ruins
calachuchi floating
in the old well



temple ruins
I turn my head
to a headless buddha



meatless lunch
a grasshopper
on the table



what used to be
a monastery
dragonflies



night bazaar
looking for the wooden frog
with the best croak



dozing off
by the riverside
sound of boats

Walking in Thailand

cloudy morning
a monk opens
his begging bowl



buddhist temple
among the worshippers’ shoes
my sandals



reclining buddha
the lotus vendor
knitting



riverside
an old lady fishing
raindrops

the pond
teeming with carp
remains still



eating with one hand
the other
driving away flies
