my white room


i never saw a moor—
i never saw the sea—
yet know i how the heather looks
and what a billow be.

my morning, shelf and strainer for tea, non glazed and
rought therefore it keeps flavor and smell of tea i drank
yesterday. 









thunderstorms make two skies, dark and light
so i go from the second part to one more 
`nature letter`, alma`s  - her amaryllis seeds
made me draw the flower on the porcelain
for pendant or pin, she will tell me. i know
how she loves this flower

lupins, in light peach and purple are the ones i never saw
living around them as a child they became part of my side
that will always stay first. with sun, our flat on the fifth floor
no elevator, rusty tub filled with rain water raspberry bushes

we go for a walk every other day eat ice cream wrapped in paper
and getting ready for something new

first time i saw ginkgo and tulip tree,
it was in finland, small garden filled
with sun yet frozen morning, two 
girls were sitting near the pond,
speaking japanese and it was so 
quiet so i could catch some words.

and this is poster with leaves and there 
is the one that is still unknown for me -
sassafras, mitten leaf they say. elm tree,
with uneven sides and willow, always 
gets me thinking about floating water -
moon road.








i think these five ones
are like me, 


what shapes and colors 
of nature are like you?
