Reset

Pigeon

Iridescent form
Held captive in winter's wind-
Startles me driving.


Mother

Coffee spills, dirty
Trails in a worn life carpet-
Wiping my two feet.


Me

Green stuffed chair holds me
Rose garden afghan covers you-
winter regression.


Thoughts

Daylight reveals dust
Particles moving-light beam
Through a midnight dawn.


Your Amends

NO TIME NO HEART NO
WORDS NO EXPLANATIONS NO
COMMUNICATION


My Son

17 pounds, night sweats
Anxiety and nausea-
Scars on mom's conscious


Ennui

Empty of feeling
Boredom ticks, reality show-
Magnifies distance.


Conversation

Switch places said words
Assume another's position
Exchange meaning



Promises

No poem for sarah
Your letters were never written-
Being a Haiku.
