“Seat”

Seat

Somewhere a seat waits: /

departure or arrival. /

love or loneliness.

“Sky”

The sky

The clouds above me /

Form around a dust whisper /

Cry into the night.

“Thoughts”

Thoughts

Ice cream thoughts rise to /

a cotton candy goodbye, /

clouds and heat swirl by.

“Space”

Space

Physical and mental,

bruised with color, words, and shapes,

walls contour your space.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Old man”

Old man

The sun peers over

my shoulder, an old man who

gives heat as advice.

“Memories”

Memories

The oven’s raw heat /

and cinnamon’s sweet scent blend /

to stir memories.

“Shrug”

Shrug

Ten years have passed. /

You were here then; this was home. /

The summer sun shrugs.

From seed into bloom, /

“Memories”

Memories

Scraped like old paint, /

memories chip away time, /

bare in summer’s heat.
