EC1
Clouds appear and die
Cicadas sing their life songs
Do trees wear watches?

EC2
Rocks live so slowly
The cosmos spins forever
Patience takes more time

EC3
My playground is here
Among multi-meaning words
Life is a riddle

EC4
Hungry brown baby
No one there to hold and soothe
Cry yourself to sleep

EC5
Hear my baby cry
Exhausted and without sleep
Will my baby die?

EC6
Swings at the playground
Echoes of shrieks and laughter
One child plays alone

EC7
Mortality sucks
All the things to see and do
Death screws it all up

EC8
Beyond certainty
Lies excitement and danger
We dare to explore

EC9
Pinned against sand
A shadow tried to pull free
Light shows no mercy

EC10
Toys made from tied sticks
Played with on an earthen floor
Imagine the fun

EC11
Smiling bright brown eyes
Most of the world's children see
Through eyes just like yours

EC12
Weeds in the sidewalk
Growing between old red bricks
Life holds on tightly

E13
Sweet watermelon
The taste is like a feeling
Easing through my mind

E14
The tree had fallen
Amongst so many others
No one saw it fall

EC15
Little sleeping face
Flannel pajamas with feet
These are my babies

EC16
Ready for the prom
Trying to dance in new heels
This is a big deal

EC17
Embarrassed to death
The fate of a young teen boy
Always getting hard

EC18
Blood flows in the streets
Not even political
Neda is a martyr

EC 19
Trade winds stir the trees
Dreams come and go with a sigh
Sleeping Buddha smiles
