Caterpillar came
during pigeon pose just to
tell me you are fine.
Mickey
Now feels slow.
And what say you?
Will you be letting me walk right up and peer inside the expanse of your wide windows, all at a snail’s pace to learn?
Are you actually relaxing in there?
I drive reckless at times.
But straight enough to read your billboards on the road. They scream to me Talk Me Down, Category 5, Whirlwind At Work.
How many feathers need I blow?
And in what direction?
May I help calm your soul, pull you safely inside where, at the very least, you can put back on the gloves?
This Haiku: Start Swimming
Water holds hostage
What I wonder, what I want
Blind me Show me where
This Haiku: Free If We Want
Oh! Amidst the thorns
-have you granted safe harbor,
strong spirits, fresh air?
Breath + Tears
A Great Lake
Beckoned
North West Wind
Suffer for my shores
Your best three storms
And ‘ere too long
I’ll offer up
In sacrifice
My mystic mist
And renew you
This Haiku: Pain
I can barely breathe
Underneath all the unknowns
But it works for me
This Haiku: We Don Hope
We dress for this day
Despite injury or loss
Each day we wear hope

White Is Us
The Night has shown favor
But won’t wish to wear White
The Night has its own color to live
Eyes closed tight
White is for daylight
For when scared long enough
We open our eyes to the mirror
White is us
This Haiku: Sleepy Sunday Slacks
I need to wiggle
And find out whether those slacks
Will fit me just so
This Haiku: Mr. Cloud
What message, soft light,
may I learn from you this morn’
-to anchor my day?
