crescent moon —
she encircles the darkness
only she can see

Details
Category: June 2014
star-crammed sky —
all the words that come
to nothing

Details
Category: June 2014
tundra —
the continuing thaw
of a single word

Details
Category: June 2014
the vastness!
all that is concealed
by light

Details
Category: June 2014
first light . . .
let what is
be done

Details
Category: June 2014
first cause
before we had
the words

Details
Category: June 2014
after dusk
silence expands the space
still left

Details
Category: June 2014
clear water
to free simplicity
of the words

Details
Category: June 2014
my hours
intoned by tuis
and moreporks

Details
Category: June 2014
a fantail
among the shadows
my every move

Details
Category: June 2014
star fire
arcing a self-made
abyss

Details
Category: June 2014
finger tied
to the end of the world
a skein unwinds

Details
Category: June 2014
beyond me
the echo of a song
once me
 
 

Details
Category: June 2014
river fog —
a chiaroscuro of self
word by word

Details
Category: June 2014
here it is
standing in for the moon
word for word

Details
Category: June 2014
sea shimmer
after the moonlight:
a dearth of words

Details
Category: June 2014
insomnia
yesterday yawns
behind me

Details
Category: June 2014
with this kiss
Danaë takes shape within
her chrysalis

Details
Category: June 2014
dissenting
into the vernacular
the weight of words

Details
Category: June 2014

earth mother:
the you I once knew
now my dream

Details
Category: June 2014

at sunset
a sea anemone
sucks in her blush

Details
Category: June 2014

from my pen
an hallucination
of loose ends

Details
Category: June 2014

so few words —
the dewfall most acute
in its vanishing

Details
Category: June 2014

twilit beach
in the undertow
of silence

Details
Category: June 2014

hear it!
the Lord's Prayer read
from a seashell

Details
Category: June 2014

organo-intellectual compost bins

Details
Category: June 2014

this and that consensual haikucide

Details
Category: June 2014

nature just being its ultimate ontology

Details
Category: June 2014

ashen wind —
all the mis-spent words
in my tongue

Details
Category: June 2014

the wind
tearing up the eyes
mine beheld

Details
Category: June 2014

this book
yielding the breath
of beyond

Details
Category: June 2014

with these words
fingertipping
the void

Details
Category: June 2014

leafless tree
how lifeless the dance
this winter

Details
Category: June 2014

night storm —
nameless trees flash
up the valley

Details
Category: June 2014

a chill solace of endless stars

Details
Category: June 2014

eyes closed so prolong the night

Details
Category: June 2014

within it
the page of tundra
yellows too

Details
Category: June 2014

winter beach —
an albatross asks
'who moved?'

Details
Category: June 2014

winter beach —
the welcoming walls
of an open grave

Details
Category: June 2014

winter beach —
the incoming tide
of horizons

Details
Category: June 2014

hermit crab —
the stream of words sidesteps
the obvious

Details
Category: June 2014

with clenched teeth
sea-spray lashes apart
the veneer

Details
Category: June 2014

the loss
of my words
of loss

Details
Category: June 2014

slow flow sap —
the stillbirth of words
dragging clouds

Details
Category: June 2014

winter sky
maybe a bird dies
or doesn't

Details
Category: June 2014

wood smoke
my loneliness lingers
near the flame

Details
Category: June 2014
lost and found
candlelight flickers
over her

Details
Category: June 2014
between here
and the fence post
static whispers

Details
Category: June 2014
in this world
neither a foxhole
nor a nest

Details
Category: June 2014
on the wing
a twitter a halfinch
from my finger

Details
Category: June 2014
rising stream —
ancient archetypes
haunt my words

Details
Category: June 2014
string theory —
a fly shakes free
from the web

Details
Category: June 2014
breath cloud —
at last my words
take fire

Details
Category: June 2014
parting ways
between two streetlights
my shadows

Details
Category: June 2014
death mask —
the smile so beguiling
as if it knew

Details
Category: June 2014
thunder struck
the sky billows up
in B-flat major

Details
Category: June 2014
free verse poet
her paper dress unfolds
before me

Details
Category: June 2014
river fog —
a chiaroscuro of self
word by word

Details
Category: June 2014
the sea change
at full fathom five
through his eyes

Details
Category: June 2014
autumn flag
the bones of Hone Heke
rattle away

Details
Category: June 2014
still falling
the fig-leafed flesh
of its fruit

Details
Category: June 2014
unmeasured space
the sound of foot-falls
in the yard

Details
Category: June 2014
secret tryst
my blood with hers
in the flea

Details
Category: June 2014
by moonlight
the almostness
of her kiss

Details
Category: June 2014
fallow field
our bodies follow
the seasons

Details
Category: June 2014
frogpond —
a critic dissects
the haiku

Details
Category: June 2014
the sound of it
before it ceased to exist —
a big bang

Details
Category: June 2014
a star
out of focus
out of itself

Details
Category: June 2014
the dark drift
of a floating point
between galaxies

Details
Category: June 2014
winter sport —
the cries of the poor
to wanton boys

Details
Category: June 2014
breaking fast —
the nets cast out
for new seas

Details
Category: June 2014
distant voice
in a potter's field
of dreams

Details
Category: June 2014
fruit-stripped tree —
a flock of lambs gambol
to their slaughter

Details
Category: June 2014
a baptism
of three white feathers
in my hair

Details
Category: June 2014
in the storm
an orphan drawing
friendly fire

Details
Category: June 2014
fin.
still the same
in French
