seeking a warm lap
the cat curls across my thighs
–my daughter is gone

some kind of heat (20161111)
a brief moment
the child waving at the dog
even in the dark
smokes (20160921)
i wait on the smell
of a cigarette burned down
to the crushed filter
full moon (20160916)
moon–you’re the right size
to slip into my pocket
or stay in my eye
——
half a moon (20160909)
no temple bells ring
small courtyard and half a moon
incense drifting in
wooden music (20160904)
words gripping mallets
my rib cage a xylophone
you make my bones sing
haiku on the encroachment of fall (20160826)
pokemon backpack
a boy’s last summer ice cream
smiling–unaware
dusk and rabbit (20160708)
rabbit on the grass
the sunset makes your long ears
glow as the air cools
harvest (20160624)
peaches hit the ground
i pull less eager fruit free
in my mouth–soft, sweet
the bees shall inherit the earth (20160613)
it’s harder to see
anything good in people
start over with bees
