85th Street Beach
just sand to embrace
my holiday
...

Banff Jasper Highway
the only animal out of place
us
...

by leaps and bounds
the world has progressed
since the industrial revolution
men's life expectancy
...

Pink Sands Beach
the lady's pink swimming suit
painted orange
...

i carry a forest with me
in the midst of which are
treasures begging to be found
some my friends help me,
...

visiting the cemetery
buried in each of us
the unease about death
...

is there a flower in you waiting to bloom?
to colour the world with its charms?
is it forming? a promising little bud
rearing its head in the sanctum of your soul
...
