For Idleness
In darkness I woke
but rose long after the sun
Wanting to do nothing
I got nothing done.
Feast
The butterfly
that was bigger than the bird
was not stronger.
Ancestors
The limits of words
are stories of men
whose lives are written
with a borrowed pen.
Exes
Two leaves detached
from the same branch
never fall
in unison.
