life and death conjoin

life and death conjoin
amid the clatter of the 
iron dice of war

a splash of water 
a mosquito changes wings 
froggy paradise

vasty columnade
sunshine stripes the river green
city afternoon

birds in formation
wing shadows across the road
mirroring the sky

jet engines screaming
open gates of memory
salt spray on my lips

playing with your phone
while flying on roller blades
is a bad idea

a breath of jasmine
remembers the rain just past
and sunshine to come

the wedding party:
a rather high proportion
of pregnant bridesmaids

looks original
but it's a block from times square
so probably not

roppongi tokyo?
that's where i met my ex-wife!
