the clouds have changed

while I read of love
and inconsistent moods.

One hundred comrades;
One smile beckons
Ten thousand admirers.

see how the wild roses bloom
within forbidding fences!

Want

I want love splashing
To your voice like wet children
Playing in the stream.

a wind on desolate mountains
uprooting oaks.

Come, investigate loneliness!
a solitary leaf
clings to the maple tree.
