Entry to the city park.
The scents settle in me
before the flowers.
2

The shape of an anvil.
Is that cloud bringing
hail into May night?
3

Crane builds a house.
A pair of swans nests
in the nearby reeds.
4
Sleeping lamp.
On the nearby vinegar tree
lights for both.
5
Expensive sea suite.
All inclusive for a spider
on the balcony.
6

Heat wave.
I love the sun most
when it says goodbye.
7
Storm forecast.
The screaming of crows
announces it earlier.
8
Along the way
to the biotechnical faculty
ripe rosehips.
9
Remembrance day of the dead.
Winds have not yet blown away
all the dandelion clocks.
10
Bird migration time.
Only metal cranes jut
into the sky.
