Month: January 2020

deep winter dive bar stares from an unfamiliar face

preparing my face for the other faces class reunion

revolving doors the lies we tell ourselves

Walden Pond the whistle of a train crosses the years

morning quiet a minnow nabs a gnat

wheelchair tai chi a dragonfly flexes its wings

pond strider the silence of Cassiopeia       (Originally in Autumn Moon Haiku Journal 2:2, Spring/Summer 2019)

late road trip pulled over by the full moon  

rush hour a cross-hatch of contrails  

spring afternoon every passing car throbs with hip-hop

evening fog I follow frogsong all the way home

no fly in a flicker of the bluetongue’s tongue    

a new mountain trail in my chest defibrillator

submerged skiff- all the fish it catches  

rent arrears my son’s goldfish swims around its castle  

beached seaweed all the tangles of this life

falling light rinses over his face… father at the sink  

crow’s nest in the crook of a tree winter bones

growing at an angle winter sapling
