his dead mother
in her birdseed
middle of the night
a soprano
in the prison
lifts midnight's pitch
Presence (#59, 2017)
winter landscape
they plow the graveyard
before the streets
giving a push
to the bullet train
a butterfly's wings
Presence (#64, 2019)
silver minnows
hang together in moonlight
off the clock
muskeg wind
the stories
nobody shapes
windshield shadows
tiny rivers
cross her face
empty house
where we once loved
snakeskin in the yard
Modern Haiku (50.2, Summer 2019)
city snow
the blind listening
to moth wings of snow
The Aurorean (Fall/Winter 2019)
first grey hairs
he stands on his hands
before making love
