The sun flows beyond
the horizon and the day’s
light drips into dreams.
[Editor’s note: In rereading, several times, this haiku, I decided it needed a little tweaking. The tweaking eventually became changing the positions of two words: “flows” and “drips.” Even if you don’t agree with the change, you can see how the repositioning of two words in the poem changes the imagery in it.]

Water falling down, /
stumbling over the moment, /
my heart lands in tears.

Smiles, hugs, and paper; /
Presents, bows, and tape askew. /
Great escape again.

Love is an art form /
tucked deep into a book’s fold: /
read, forgotten, dreamed.

Glass sparkled roadway /
cold winds and clotted metal /
Christmas and cop lights.

Take apart my heart:
blood vessels, valves, and muscles.
Your love beats there still.

Clattering words and /
rattling hearts sweep away /
a lover’s warm embrace.

The meal and the grace,
the sustenance and the hope,
each handled with love.

Touch not what I touch,
hoping only to feel worlds
and none of yourself.
