2009





an empty shot glass
on the windowsill
evening snow

The Heron's Nest XI:4, December 2009




                                                                    funnel cloud . . .
                                                                    the harmony
                                                                    of wind chimes

                                                                    Modern Haiku 40.3, autumn 2009




starlit sky
a satellite dish
on the mobile home

Modern Haiku 40.3, autumn 2009




                                                                    capturing the wind
                                                                    in a photograph . . .
                                                                    a flag at half-mast

                                                                    Frogpond 32:3, autumn 2009




fishbowl
telling a child
about death

The Heron's Nest XI:3, September 2009




                                                                    a sparkler fizzles
                                                                    into darkness
                                                                    year's end

                                                                    The Heron's Nest XI:3, September 2009




hunger pangs
the vending machine
eats a dollar

The Shiki Monthly Kukai August 2009




                                                                    a spider on the other side
                                                                    of the windowpane
                                                                    lonely night

                                                                    Frogpond 32:2, spring/summer 2009





unemployment line
the autumn wind
fills with leaves

The Heron's Nest XI:2, June 2009




                                                                    insomnia —
                                                                    moonlight on a piano
                                                                    no one plays

                                                                    Modern Haiku 40.2, summer 2009




under a leafless maple
the homeless man
I know by name

Modern Haiku 40.2, summer 2009




                                                                    Thanksgiving —
                                                                    holding a bite
                                                                    through the prayer

                                                                    The Heron's Nest XI:1, March 2009




dead end
a raccoon stares at me
from the other side

Modern Haiku 40.1, winter-spring 2009




                                                                    scent of snow —
                                                                    a freight train
                                                                    grinds the night

                                                                    Frogpond XXXII:1, winter 2009




morning rain —
a bottle on a book
on the bedside table

Ambrosia Issue 2, winter 2009




                                                                    in the wake
                                                                    of a nightmare
                                                                    birdsong

                                                                    Ambrosia Issue 2, winter 2009




graveyard
a butterfly skims
the stillness
