Paper cranes
Paper cranes dangle /
in winter’s morning light /
softly turning.

New and Not
Alone and not. /
A body and a shadow. /
New year and still old.

Holidays
Once, I brandished light, /
large for the holidays. /
Now, just a small one.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Waiting”
Waiting
Waiting for blood draw /
in Santa’s sad waiting room. /
Ho-ho-hole in me.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Layers”
Layers
Pastels paint the sky. /
Silhouettes smudge empty limbs. /
Fall layers the dawn.

Soon embracing all.

What was once above /

blurring sight and streets.

Still
Shirt draped over chair. /
Shadows trick my memories. /
You gone; me here still.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Even”
Even
Even for the oak /
the future begins small /
and hidden from sight.
