new galaxy
a pomegranate
splits its skin
Month: July 2014
back in time and space isn’t much matter
autumn equinox
his ex gives him
half a hug
July heatwave
sugar peas
lose their sweetness
August ends
everything gone
to seed
childhood song —
the rhythm of women
threshing grain
making
a long story short
fall
summer bonfire
the Christmas tree lights up
one last time
(originally appeared in Prune Juice, Issue 11, November 2013)
mistletoe
our kiss lasts
past the doorway
summer’s end —
the secrets we wrote
in the sand
freeze warning
pulling the final carrots
alone
ice storm
chemotherapy
postponed
last leaves –
his white breath dissolves
in the garden
end-of-season
one after another
the carnival lights blink out
unexplored world
from behind the neighbor’s fence
a cosmos
(haiga)
calm mist
the cowbells
marching
(haiga)
