Four Haiku and One

my butterfly life –
when this frozen cocoon cracks
how will I have changed?

empty winter beach –
waves on waves pounding pebbles
roughs me up tranquil

what is vision but?
dreaming of springing greenly
into raw east winds?

come plough come harrow –
heart and mind this fasting time
turn up fresh stardust

redefining pink –
bursting magnolia buds
stretch their baby fists
