waterways


fishing
on the deck
I watch the colours die

bay shallows
a starfish moves its fingers
over mine


home notes next










































 


   fishing harbour—
one wooden post
   without a pelican


home notes next










































yuuyake-o atsumeshi wani-no me-ni oware

 
sunset
gathered in its eyes
watched by a croc


home notes next










































 


 
in the clear water only their shadows - jellyfish
 


home notes next










































 
  still pools
in the rocks – rounded stones
                   in my pocket


home notes next










































sukuu te-no kurage-ya seimeisen fukaku
 
picking up a jellyfish...
my lifeline
clear and deep


home notes next










































     


winter rain –
the lake creeps
under the fence


home notes next










































     


snapper run –
his red cigarette tip
bobbing on the bay


home notes next










































     


underwater observatory
the groper's eye
level with mine
 

home notes next










































     




home notes next













































the lake at sunset
trembling with reflections
of drowned trees


home notes next










































 


lapping water—
shadows of mangroves
push against the tide


home notes next










































 


billabong –
a dragonfly darts
pose to pose


home notes next










































 


red dawn
the fisherman's hands
gutting the mullet
