Eclipse eclipsing
Reverse: stary day, bright night
Already, it passed.
The sun is shadowed
The world is swaddled by dark
Already, it passed.
Light fades, birds panic
Frantic: “Cover nests and eggs!”
Already, it passed.
Blinding light gone dark
Deep shadows filling the void
Already, it passed.
I am here and there
In the stars or the shadows
I am everywhere
The Cat in the Hat
Big Hat with Red and White Stripes
Unreal and crazy
Horton Hears a Who
A Big Guy with small person
But not a person
seaside haikus
a mouse scurries on
tin foil carpets. cloven hooves
soft on the white shore
to lay ear to ear
transferring oceans between
our flighty canals
oh my wet skin aches
whispering salt in my ear—
bury me in sand
i am made of a
substance like love. soft bread
and mourning covers.
Summertime Nostalgia
sunshine warming you
flowers dancing unconcerned
dreams of better days
waves of silent screams
grains of sand stop time for me
summer endless be
wine and me and you
grass covered in morning dew
smell of berry juice
neverending days
dripping honey from the bees
fresh sweat sticks to me
It just hurts,
These growing scars tearing my
Skin apart
Milk and eggs
Emotions mixed well, ingrained
No one sees
A new height
The counter is much shorter
Than before
Three haikus on my favorite meals in Northampton, Massachusetts
Tortilla chicken
Pickled red cabbage and mint
Spicy peanut sauce
Beef Negimaki
Pomegranate martini
Pickle radish roll
Mango condensed milk
Thai hand rolled ice cream
Mochi lime and salt
September red wine
Tattered worn jeans, tired hearts
With you splendid love
Spring time and cherry blossoms
Berries and flowers
Everywhere
Scent of summer
A breath of fresh air
Seashores and sand
Looking through life’s lens in warm yellows
Times change, seasons pass, wheels turn
And here comes all the shades of people
Hidden in plain sight
