Hopscotch

spring breeze —
thinner hopscotch lines
under my feet

my drawing

chopping onions

chopping onions
over my childhood scribbles —
same knife

motherless child

motherless child —
brushwood castles raising
near the fireplace

swallows

a child blows
his paper trumpet —
restless swallows

twilight

twilight homework —
blue letters
fade into ink eraser
