It Must Be Time for Lunch Now, 1979, by Francesca Woodman

A face haunts this room
Seeking old days and friendships. 
Time passes inexorably.

Haiku Heights: September Free


This jade plant in sun
Opened like a fresh green tree.
Strength against the fall.

Magpie Tales: Whirling

Flying Down, 2006, by David Salle

On a busy city street,
A mandarin duck whirled in the air by my side,
Moved by hot dry air
Flashing red and green, blue and white.
As I stared in wonder and amazement
At this sight, on a busy city street
with planes flying low and a red brick
Wall in front of me,
I saw the red samurai in a dance with a monk
in his red robes, defying gravity and my
Own sharp senses.

- Gerry Young, Strummed Words
