---

happy  things  sad  things  grasses   exuberate
	as  if  someone  is  coming  loquat   leaf  falling
all nude will dragonfly think of lighting ?
	wanting   something  to  do  grass  blades  stirring
in a cool pine wind people eating horses eating
	intimate mountain meadow bush warbler cries
tip   tap  comes  a  bug  with  no  buzz
	long away come back: bamboo shoots shooting
waiting cherries ripening
	whatever   it  all  is  it  all  is  blossoming
walking: grasses in seed. sitting: grasses in seed.
	there   is  only  this  road  spring  snow  falling
after  a  rain  a  thistle  clear  morning
	spring  has  come  water   sounds  go  where  they  do
neither waiting nor not waiting moonlight weeds
	settled down persimmons ripen already
looking  down  all  the  small  stones
	spider makes its web I affirm my self
this  day  this  far  sandals  come  off

well now. which way to go. wind blowing.

To purchase the full booklet, this is available exclusively from our Bookshop:

As an act of goodwill and for poetry - Longhouse is sending out each month complete publications - online - of one poet (or more) we have published in booklet, broadside or postcard form for everyone to share. It's a way of giving back to many of you who have sent to us poems, letters, purchases and the same goodwill over the years. The series will fly in under the banner of our Woodburners We Recommend. It should also be felt as a certain warmth in memory to all our close and dear poetry comrades passed along - each one becoming more of a loss. Each monthly booklet will also be available for purchase from Longhouse. Issued in a very limited keepsake edition of 50 copies. Starting in 2006 we will begin to reissue and present past issues from Longhouse of select poets. For those readers that travel back as far as 1972 when Longhouse began, you know poetry was released like bandits by the day, by the week, by the month, and always free. We have never taken on grants and meant poetry to be seen & heard & on poetry terms. From 2006, into the Infinite, and within the universal cyber cosmos, we would like to share multiple poets with you....and only ask that you share them further.
