oasis mess

they’ll carry cactus

damage in their mouths

melons as sweet hurt

as well

.

haiku

look front instead

my back seems boned of you

your spiny words embedded

dread saw me as jelly

.

haiku

surface dwellers grow old

they loved well enough

not deep enough too thin to

offer any growth hold

.

haiku

breakfast grazing

his breath like fresh mown

grass dotted with butter cups

coffee toast honey

.

haiku

inhales

smoking all the cries

love that turns

out to be lies

love

lies in ashes

.

haiku

…..the end

30 year illusion

my husband : the magician

sleight of hand ; a knife….

haiku

living out

staring out living

room windows

other peeps

living out

nicer lives

.

haiku

up up away

feel curiously

homeless

once more

drawing up

drawbridge go

within

.

haiku

lighthouse

appreciate me

touch me not my skin my glow

a torch from within

.

haiku

our photos in amber iii

inexorable

clicks & texts & photos timed

to expire : clock stops
