underneath

two oaks still stand

though older,

split apart,

ravaged

roots entwine

in quiet

.

haiku

fleeting

something like terror

mirrored in eyes meeting grief

brief in divorce room

.

haiku

what would you die without?

what would you confess

to yourself

in the darkest

of starkest

nights ?

.

haiku

far from the shallows

taking the red-eye

shipspassing sweetcollison

imminent : we’ll meet

.

haiku

something opens

eyes clenched closed

: silence :

prayer utters itself in throat

without conscious thought

.

haiku

mining for clues

love letters never sent

i — o — u — c — b mine in

code miss — understood

.

haiku

bee~breathy

memories thrumming

at the edges beckoning

blowing through cobwebs

.

haiku

…..you ( soul domesticity )

vacuuming the stars

emptying the dust over

lemon cakes baked for…..

.

haiku

calimero

little boy lost look

cup of coffee

closed book

how to find his focus

.

haiku

ultimate intimate

my name was Barbara

i was here

all alone ~ all along

intimate

.

p.s

hi

perhaps you

knew me…

perhaps

not …
