hog

i’m on the winter

side of our mattress while he

rolls in summer plumes

.

haiku

euphoria rocks

sound speeding past us

decked in stoned-light-headedness

burst-out-happyness

.

haiku

ignite last night

my hair smells of wood

smoke of your lips lingers could

spark any moment

.

haiku

me bee you love

when me love every

aspect of me under sun

me glow under skin

.

haiku

tectonic non-descript

the abject neglect

never mentioned!

caused the rift

to platonic drift

.

haiku

Ps

as if one needed one explanation for separation

i’ve seen

neither hide nor hare

nor deer nor bear but

giraffe! in the path!

.

haiku

the one

i divorced instead

of being

blessed

to die young

to escape

neglect

.

haiku

like a prayer

afternoon sun slants

adores polished floor

house plants caressed

stretch like cats

.

haiku

.

17 syllables, tumbling in errant formation, loving rumbling disarray

amen

underneath

two oaks still stand

though older,

split apart,

ravaged

roots entwine

in quiet

.

haiku

refuse

girls in white dresses

lain on forest floor like bones

knuckles curled like leaves

.
