Day 51, 2024

yes Eyorgie, it’s warm
but the pristine splash at sunset
is still colored winter

watch then, the madwoman
place stolen spectacles
on the stage chains

empty eyes watching
another night
rising

Day 38, 2024

1.

chance of snow
this Fool’s Spring
a dance a game
of hide and seek

my ear hears the water
wanting to rise

2.

no snow maybe thanks
to the old veteran dancing
the grapevine on the cobblestone wall
or the old black man
drinking beer wrapped in a paper bag
wondering if the water is still too cold to fish

Haikus for the Onset of Winter, 2


oh morning moon
roll bone cracking morn, roll
distant sunrise
