Haiku for your autumn

Come, lie in this stream--
all the sun of summer gone
is within its flow

Autumn . . . the path now
wanders to oblivion
under every tree

Even while squatting
the puppy diverts herself
by smelling flowers

City loneliness . . .
dancing with a gusty wind:
yesterday's news.

A tiny spider
has begun to confiscate
this cup's emptiness

Beijing rush hour . . .
horse and cart heading home,
driver fast asleep
