Year of the Rooster
peacock feathers in an indian store
fly off the shelves

*

bursting buds
dough
escapes from the pan

*

scarecrow in pirate dress
crows argue who deserves
to sit on its shoulder

*

God in heavens
a child walks
with a raised head

*

acorn caps
on my finger tips -
shalom autumn!

*

explorer's birthday -
polar bears are yet to smell
the roses

*

same figures
a quarter of century later
a chess game with my father

*

hand work
an angel carries souls
into the sky

*

covered with paint
resident spider hurries
to be first in the corner

*

smiling in my sleep
sun reflections
in an empty cookie box
