Walk first, if you must
Though eyes downcast, chin up, love
Always, your chin up

We: Our Haiku
We’ve all these -isms
Seeking meaning and purpose
Why neglect to Love?
Brave: A Haiku
Make you move mountains
Love me like a big-leaguer
Make you run not walk
To Dad
I tried
Together to rip off the band-aid with you
To allow the city sun to shine upon the wounds we allowed others to inflict
Vitamin D for our tough-skinned inner-child
The parentified children we were
The superhero we each became
Heal with me, I shrieked to deafened ears
The same way we’d said it to dad
Heal for me
New Ocean
A freeing, I imagine, is the gift we’d gift eachother
Leave the striving and othering to striving others grasping for some brass ring
Leave the grasping to the ocean waves that want more of the shore
A new ocean and eachother’s, I know…gold rings…free
Motherhood
And then, daylight
Appeared — what for, this song
This soft white light
The quiet, cool exhalation
I’d waited a lifetime
None books I’d read
No wisdom sent my way
Foretold through the ages
Oh, those kind sages!
The wholesale beauty of you
Lemonade: A Haiku
I promise, Ocean
I will love you all the more
Should next week it rain
Educated Women: Our Haiku
You’ll leave, not be left
Riddled by early love-bombs
Hungry from breadcrumbs
Thou art a figment
