Wednesday morning swim
Back at this corner
The cats and the birds
The interruption
Blue petals
July, a pastiche
Sunday afternoon
Two fish
Red balloon
Breaking away from the tanka trail
Happy mundane Sunday
Monday's slow roast
The woman and the shiba inu
Sunday morning forecast
More hugs
I cannot
Neon
Flamegold rain trees
Dear little things
The young are docile
I shuffle about this apartment
The sleepless
The green sheet
In this apartment
The watcher
Please, Brain
The artist
A single wasp
Personal symbols
I am an egg
Saturday morning dad jokes
Small indulgence
I wolfed it down like warm lead
Connected
The metaphoric flower
There is still time to sleep
Exceptionally good days
The egret
2020
I cannot wish you well
Two memories of fish
The pond
Things
Black and white

My family is in the next room
I only age when
The beams make equal divisions
Before reaching the bus stop
In the bookstore
What can I tell you?
Everything here is old
I pass through worlds
The standoff
Hello, hello
During lunch break
I, too, would like
I see the city renewed
Sometimes I have romantic thoughts
You have analysed enough

The world is made up of nouns
I am almost transparent now
