OBSERVED I

a star big as earth
blocked by tiny fireflies
and by a lighthouse.

OBSERVED II

seen from the cliff-top:
a seagull – its reflection
a kite – its shadow.

OBSERVED III

washed up seaweed writes
in lines passive, orderly –
signature of tides.

this storm has scribbled
hieroglyphs, alphabets, runes –
calligraphy’s codes.
