Oceanic

Self-portrait as scallop

When I am six

On listening to your teacher take attendance

The origin of feathers on my windshield

Sea church

Mr. Cass and the crustaceans

Penguin Valentine

from The Rambutan Notebooks

Two moths

In praise of my manicure

End-of-Summer Haibun

When Lucille Bogan sings "Shave 'em dry"

The two times I loved you the most on a farm

Aubade with cutlery and crickets

When you select the daughter card

At the pumpkin festival my lips burn bright

Self-portrait as Niagara Falls in Winter

Dream caused by the flight of a bee around a pomegranate one second before waking up

The falling: four who have intentionally plunged over Niagara Falls with the hope of surviving

Forsythe Avenue Haibun

Meals of grief & happiness

Invitation

Inside the cloud forest dome

I could be a whale shark

Love in the time of swine flu

Self-portrait as C-section scar

The cockroach responds

Andromache begs Hector to reconsider

When I'm away from you, I feel like the second-place winner in a bee-wearing contest

In the museum of glass flowers

Dangerous

Travel Mommy Ghazal

Flowers at the Taj Mahal

While riding an elephant, I think of unicorns

Self-portrait as an egg-tempera illuminated manuscript from 1352

Letter to the Northern Lights

Perch bones and apple aubade

This sugar

Too many cooks spoil the broth

Psyche & Cupid: a reimagining

Venus instructing Cupid to torment Psyche

Psyche considers her last letter from Cupid

Upon hearing the news you buried our dog

The body

The pepper kingdom

One-star reviews of the Taj Mahal

First time on the funicular

One-star reviews of the Great Wall of China

The pepper king returns

Starfish and coffee

Naming the heartbeats

Chess

My south

Bengal tiger.
