underneath

two oaks still stand

though older,

split apart,

ravaged

roots entwine

in quiet

.

haiku

far from the shallows

taking the red-eye

shipspassing sweetcollison

imminent : we’ll meet

.

haiku

late, late late at night

i looked for god up

in sky but found god waiting

down on bathroom floor

.

haiku

mining for clues

love letters never sent

i — o — u — c — b mine in

code miss — understood

.

haiku

besties

dreamt we kissed, tasted

bad

you said

you’d got married

hadn’t told me

sad

.

haiku

calimero

little boy lost look

cup of coffee

closed book

how to find his focus

.

haiku

i know my name

i know my name is

safe in your mouth

‘cos it sounds

like love

well-pronounced

.

haiku

in passing

remember the time

we spotted fox cubs flashing

orange under brush

?

haiku

sufferagette ( haikuplet )

i have a right to

pour my poor breasts into Bra

stand up for this, girls!

.

( no suffering required )

.

i réserve thé right

of removal of said Bra

with relief at night

.

( hurl it to the floor !)

.

bra is my friend and

foe, my own bosom’s buddy

i’d never burn it

.

(what true feminist would?)
