A body and a shadow. /
New year and still old.

Cold
Cold, quarter moon glides /
above the bare, winter limbs. /
Sleepless night’s embrace.

“Solstice”
Solstice
Winter loves slowly. /
Its long shadows stretch like life /
compactly marooned.

“Bach travels”
Bach travels
Bach travels through time. /
With cello, she brings him to stage /
to join their small band.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Waiting”

Waiting for blood draw /
in Santa’s sad waiting room. /
Ho-ho-hole in me.
