FULL MOON

Two long hours
under the chinar:
lost full moon

WATER

Water falling
from the overhead tank--
sound wakes me up

DROUGHT

Unblessed my altar
in bed no waltz of love--
drought of summer

DEPARTURE

Leaves behind
her clothes over mine--
one more V

DELIGHT

Shelling the peas
the toddler swallows some
grins with delight

MAKING LOVE

Making love
she tastes the salt upon
his shoulder
in the afternoon he pounds
like the surf into her flesh
