All Gone: A Haiku
Faceless interface
Perpetuates nothingness
Robs us of our souls
Cover Me
Uninsulated
Thank you for this window now,
Of thin and vintage time.
The safehouse to set a spell,
The anchored birch, my lean-to.
That I’d be reminded
In these gusty days
There is still
The reaching skyward
And strength to see it.
Abstraction
I could’ve died, the graffiti from your mouth
Concrete memorials given under cover of night
The kind devoid of color
Sharp, dark, angry, and angular
Where, the morning after, the smart people come in, clean up, and move on as though it never happened
It should’ve never happened
Your Number: A Haiku
On the bluff I stayed
To count the numbered blackbirds
That I knew called you
Lipgloss & Love
Hey, how’s it they do it?
These women, these friends
Surely they’ve some frayed ends?
Lipgloss and love
Their superpower for sure
And they awe me
The really Something they give
At all costs
As Ginger, in heels and backwards
Going forward in grace
All day and always
Kinetic
We look ahead at sixty now
The gander, grace-filled
The graceful goose
Silvery fire, calm
Wondrous!
So we wait and keep walking
Flying, when we’re able
But never again bewildered
If we would not be this
We could not be that

circa
I met you
Through some avenue
In a trip around the sun
That always seems to shine on time
On a whim
Supernaturally
Light of my nine lives
For what purpose is certain
Name what it’s called when you cannot help but
