Once, I brandished light, /

Haiku to you Thursday: “Waiting”

Waiting

Waiting for blood draw /

in Santa’s sad waiting room. /

Ho-ho-hole in me.

He says goodbye

The fog obscures as /

He sees clearly now.

A beach of asphalt. /

Waves of fallen autumn leaves. /

Lingering shadows.

“Love”

Love

On a cold winter

can you find love at 3 AM,

or only the moon?

From the night, no prayers. /

From the stars, no whispers. /

From my lips, no vows.

Hands

Waves rustle the shore… /

weather beaten sailor’s hands /

pushed by dying sun.
