among whiteflowers
of Oyama magnolia -
   hawfinch's gimlet eye.

Early shadows sliding
     between hanok, along tile,
               to the sloped alleys.

Toothbrush, underwear,
camera charger - where are you?!
       As they say: Aiyah!

     Here - time for PJs.

There - a street vendor's Gimbab

in Bukchon Haok!

Sun sparkles floating,

past glass towers and flowers.

Cheong-gye-cheon in Spring.

Wisps of snow
writhe along the sidewalk,
golden in the glow of the street lamps.

        Sickle moon,
bound by a pearly halo,
leaves the new snow in darkness.
