Fire

Evening sky on fire. /

Incendiary and gone. /

Subsumed by the night.

I am a filter: /

Haiku to you Thursday: “One day”

One day

One day, we will leave /

our decrepit homes. Maybe /

then ourselves will fly.

Solstice

Winter loves slowly. /

Its long shadows stretch like life /

compactly marooned.
