Flowers are at their mercy. /
Beauty is no defense.

Cup
Rain fills the footsteps. /
Water fills the gray days /
and molds winter’s cup.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Rain”
Rain
The rain never ends. /
Even when it stops outside /
the drops weep inside.

“To fly free in space”
To fly free in space. STS-41B.
Some day, when I float /
up there, above the Earth, /
flowers still will bloom.
Some day, when up there,
I float above the Earth,
rivers will still flow.
When up there, some day,
I float above the Earth,
the clouds will still breathe.
Above the Earth, some day,
when I float up there,
Moon and Sun will laugh.
You do not deserve
some day, they say, this beauty
of the Earth below.

“Last light”
Last light
The sun recedes. /
The nearly full moon gives chase. /
The clouds hold last light.

Rusted heart
Tin man rusted his heart, /
not in Emerald City, but /
behind fallen eyes.

“Flap Jack”
Flap Jack
There once was a pancake bed,
Soft as anything said.
I laid down for a nap.
Woke up as a flap,
Filled suddenly with syrup and dread.
Kafka! I cried from my sleep.
He appeared and began to weep.
Then with his fork,
He made his first stroke
And I felt my syrup drip and seep.

“Setting sun”
Setting sun
Tabby cat sits in /
the setting sun’s amber glow /
and parade of leaves.
