Mono Ku Ku
if Basho’s frog jumps
and no one hears the splash
katydids quarrel
does the sound
of one hand clapping
surprise the wind
cold mountain winds
an eerie sound of echoes
humming to themselves
a brown tinged cornfield
withers in the heat
as scarecrows weep
an empty birdfeeder
rattles in the breeze
a patient cat waits
city thunderstorm
awakened asphalt artist
oily painted rainbows
