“Fence and flesh”

Fence and flesh

Rough wood, cold fingers,

morning sunlight, winter’s day.

Some moments focused.

Hard on the outer shell /

Opens inner seeds.

Whisper

Bend now bare limbs /

burdened by the clouds passing, /

whispering of spring.

Evening sky on fire. /

Incendiary and gone. /

Subsumed by the night.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Room”

Room

This Earth /

with all its old tragedies /

still has room for me.

“Weather”

Weather

Sky climbs the ladder, /

reaches the morning rooftop, /

and sings quiet blues.

“New Year’s Eve”

New Year’s Eve

Tomorrow somewhere /

a New Year has begun. Here /

the old treatments linger.
