side order

old couple, in café

side by side, breakfast ordered,

they speak, not one word

.

haiku

was it ? love ?

we made love often

but the kissing stopped so long

ago , i forgot

.

haïku

burp

this effervescence . . .

memory surfaces . .

then goes

flat .

just like

that . !

.

haïku

hog

i’m on the winter

side of our mattress while he

rolls in summer plumes

.

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

fleeting

something like terror

mirrored in eyes meeting grief

brief in divorce room

.

haiku

after taste

from your warm came this

swarm ; sudden stings welcomed in

dissipated love

.

haiku

that’s an answer

his silence surpasses all

languages .

funny how my

heart jumped

at no word

.

haiku

mourning that love

s’ eros of licked fingers,, fruit

pluck, , steamy eyes, , s’ hot

s’ we forgot to eat

.

haiku

disarming

Prince Charming was charming

until well after the wedding

and then, well, he wasn’t

at all.

The End

.

not a haiku
