Life begins
Blueberries obscured. /
Unfolding with each moment. /
Gracing the future.

The world
Over my shoulder, /
Earth is a small orb in space. /
Still, it fills my dreams.

“Bare limbs”
Bare limbs
Bare limbs cannot catch /
The falling sun, yet they hold /
Winter’s fading grip.

“Thieves”
Thieves
A thousand thieves may /
rip the jonquils from the ground /
but they can’t steal Spring.

Outside
Outside the window /
Monsters of winter still cling. /
Dry leaves whispering.

I am not Stanley. /
Why does she call me bad names? /
I call her Gertrude.

“Tracks”
Tracks
All travel alone /
Each in a boxcar of flesh /
Whistling goodbye.

Haiku and photo: “Possum love”
Possum love
The night was fulsome. /
The opossum was hungry. /
Bird seed made a feast.

Haiku and photo: “Truth”
Truth
Digging up answers /
Is just like digging up bones. /
Results we’ll bury.

Haiku and photo: “Light through the limbs”
Light through the limbs
Light climbs the night limbs, /
Touching bare the winter trees. /
Moon a ripe, white fruit.
