...

sunny gardens
the sparrow's tweet
answers a child's laughter.

Beijing 2008

new Olympics stadium
the homeless man
adjusts his tent.

...

cyclone aftermath...
a lone dog
with its shadow.

...

rotten pineapple -
street kids
chasing soccer dreams

...

taking time to smell the bergamot in my earl grey.

...

wedding banquet -
the stubborn cork
shatters the champagne fountain.

...

silted pond
white lotus
leaning over...just a bit...

...

new owner -
the old dog lumbering after
its fetch ball.

...

empty beachside bar...
palm fronds stretching
towards storming skies.

...

mountain train crossing -
the coldness of steel
on my finger-tips.

...


October dusk -
my mutt and me
on the empty fields

...

noon tide out
fiddler crab raises
its battle claw

June 2, 2008

...

white surf nibbling across summer bay

...

Summer hillslope
the moan of the wind
in my ears

Pulau Ubin

island landing -
a welcome gift
from the mosquito

Chek Jawa

Buddha under
the mangrove tree
How painful!
