Chairs
Two chairs at dusk sit /
in the shadows, gathering /
the ghosts of late light.

Dapple
Dappled light and shade /
scatter across the young cat /
soundlessly rippling.

Knots
The fierce rain falls, /
then the Gordian clouds part. /
Knots untied in the sky.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Bespeckled”
Bespeckled
Bespeckled by rain, /
bright asiatic lilies /
shine like yellow suns.

Darkness
What of the darkness /
do you see? Finding the light, /
can there be, you and me?

VBS signs bloom, /

Red among the green, /
the cardinal grips a limb — /
