falling for 
   the flame trick again . . .
        me & the moth   

                      
 
 


Shiva's Temple -
a toddler chants along
in baby talk  

                                                        
 
 


Chinatown morning -
the vendor turns on
the toy sparrows


 
 


after the bang
bits of paper & smoke . . .
a bottle rocket


 
 


arts & crafts . . .
gone to hell in a handbasket
i wove myself
