I leave a light on /

and though I don’t expect you, /

it is my message.

“Too soon”

Too soon

The birds or the breeze, /

the rain or maybe the sun, /

picked berries too soon.

“Ripening”

Ripening

Each green blueberry /

a process of ripening /

timelessness into taste.

New myth

Eve didn’t eat first /

and he didn’t wait until ripe. /

It was the serpent.

Cruel evening light /

renders its stark contrasts. /

Corners tucked in night.

Haiku to you Thursday: “What’s sup?”

What’s sup

Young blueberries plump, /

on you will I one day sup /

or will birds fill up?

Still, the flower blooms.

Blueberry

Maybe tomorrow /

I will catch the sun and hold, /

turning green to blue.
