Five Micro Poems
Sometimes at home, the wind in the night
becomes a messenger.
The road outside is thundering.
The Voice of the Tree
The wind is the road.
It passes through me.
No Less Than A Person
I simply looked at the roads, and they aligned.
The roads wept.
I gave them my eyes.
It is summer, Emptiness is traveling.
She stops at lit up places, loving the faraway.
It desires her too.
The high leaves piercingly flash.
