From 2018

Leg up

Raise your leg higher /

Keep your foot above your heart /

Step lightly on air.

“Hope for the creek”

Hope for the creek

The Hail Mary here /

Is neither pass nor prayer /

But hope for the creek.

Wings

The thorns are first /

and then the leaves bud forth: /

wings for the flowers.

Human

To his coy mistress /

My love shall never wig out /

To hair is human.

Haiku 2018

Bands of bright white rays /

Sun peeking through slanted blinds /

Beauty shadows light.
