View from Piraeus.

"september night...
correcting papers,
I notice an upside down
beetle turning over
on its own"

--K. Ramesh in Tanka Splendor 2005

Another Grecian view.

   for eight hundred years
gargoyle never changed his view
   as the clouds slid by

coiled & uncoiled & dropped rain
on the blurred shapes of humans
