steady rain
the pumpkin’s
dark smile
Frogpond 31.1, Winter 2008
the sound of bells
wishing I believed
in something

quiet morning no slug at the end of the slug's trail
Modern Haiku 42.3, Autumn 2011
cold drizzle –
a goodnight kiss
on my bald spot
White Lotus 7, Fall/Winter 2008
raking leaves
the wind and I
take turns
Presence 48, June 2013
nothing in the window is everything
Modern Haiku 43.1, Winter-Spring 2012
border crossing
butterflies disappear
into a drawer
Modern Haiku 50:1, Winter-Spring 2019
palm shadows
the last drink before
the last drink
Presence #62, November 2018
fading stars the stiffness of shadow puppets

wishing well
the boy next to me
begs a coin
Frogpond 42.1, Winter 2019
heat wave
the mailman fans himself
with my bills
boys killing a snake
because it's a snake –
dust devil
meteor shower
everyone complains
about the moon
bees all about the blossom
leap year
once a year my brother dies
no matter what
