I am most in fear
Of a heart
That would become green
Then turn six shades of scarlet besides
Silk Spaghetti Straps
I don't fit into any thing, any more
Hereby the list:
Convention
The cool, cool evenings
The chaos-creating dress
Companionship
I've outgrown it all
In a way that is uncomfortable to me
Mercury Fell
Please, desert rose
Emerge into my life
Remind me it's Summer
Again, again
Pray, sagebrush field
Feed my lungs steadfast
Keep me and know that I crave
Arid air
1980’s
Don't grow up
Before you make the decision
To turn off the musical promises
To decide to the depths of your heart
To know, for you
And the singers themselves
It's untrue noise
Uproarious: A Haiku
By each speck of Dust
I'm reminded, decided
Convicted, chided
Exhaust: A Haiku
Nothing except days
And the heartbreaking warning
There'll be no nights
Satellite
How many times you've walked this road
Looked up at that moon
Cursed moon
Thinking
Maybe
No
Felt your heart spill as a box of rocks
Toppled and strewn about
Left behind
Geologists'
Curiosity
Gone
Good Privilege: A Haiku
This air! Oh, this air
I am privileged to bear
The Cross of its care!
The Companion: A Haiku
Hope was the first One
Who danced within my thoughts and
Kissed my lips this morn'
His fire warmed my bones
He gifted to me a cup
Half full and intact
Giving Flowers
Just past the window pane
In the peripheral there
Was
The delivery man with the great gift
Was she giving, getting flowers again?
I wholly hoped the proud bouquet
Would head my way
But I knew
They were destined for elsewhere
Disheartened
The good news-bearer learned
What I've known
The girl next door's almost never home
