with a start
the first haiku
of the month

Details
Category: July 2015
that above!
is that the limit
of dreams?

Details
Category: July 2015
summer dreams:
all that remains
not yet grey

Details
Category: July 2015
her slip ...
the susurrus 
of her lips

Details
Category: July 2015
Cold
 
 
cold snap
what's left of warmth
in embers 
 
oh! the words that do escape
hang too long in the air
 
left over
from far brighter days
an apple core
 
deeper into winter
the heat pump hums for me
 

Details

ordinary time:
I bite into the death
that sustains me

Details
Category: July 2015
writing
into a winter night
headless chickens

Details
Category: July 2015
drone whine:
is this too
a song?

Details
Category: July 2015
slug slime
the daily examen
of my path

Details
Category: July 2015
losing flavour
all the salt licked
from my wounds

Details
Category: July 2015
all the trees 
tucking elegies
into dark wings

Details
Category: July 2015
so few words
how much of all this
can they take?

Details
Category: July 2015
the silence:
school bells tolling 
early death

Details
Category: July 2015
more than one
nail holes hammered through
tree shadows

Details
Category: July 2015
a bell tolls
in sympathy
with its age

Details
Category: July 2015
climate change
a butterfly
somewhere

Details
Category: July 2015
a haiku yet
after successive
resoundings

Details
Category: July 2015
her sari
coiling the wormhole
of our origin

Details
Category: July 2015
frost after noon
the scent of otherness
closes around

Details
Category: July 2015
what is this
that seeps through the gaps
in the chant?

Details
Category: July 2015
baby babble . . .
neon words crawl across
an urban sprawl

Details
Category: July 2015
screw loose sir?
a hooker's invitation
into madness

Details
Category: July 2015
silver-tongued dawn
a  hatchling opens its eyes
to the world's edge

Details
Category: July 2015
dead-end street
autumn and winter
face to face

Details
Category: July 2015
first quarter
moons bud-swelling
her blouse

Details
Category: July 2015
exposing
layer on layer
old sea levels

Details
Category: July 2015
rebel yell
Groucho dusts off
his manifesto

Details
Category: July 2015
word by word
a new beginning
with each sound
 

Details
Category: July 2015
earth shadow
a swinging voter
darkens the poll

Details
Category: July 2015
encircling me
the hiss
of her eyes

Details
Category: July 2015
sky map app
I end the universe
with a swipe

Details
Category: July 2015
raid 0
the all or nothing
of our love

Details
Category: July 2015
waxing moon
harsh reality
loses its edge

Details
Category: July 2015
plum tree
what is your status
today?

Details
Category: July 2015
in amber
the lifeless comfort
of the familiar

Details
Category: July 2015

dilute haiku for the masses

Details
Category: July 2015

denatured wilderness

Details
Category: July 2015
slowpoke sun
time's after-shadow
so still

Details
Category: July 2015
all at once
this pale blue dot
at its end.

Details
Category: July 2015
winter shelter . . .
plaiting vowels and consonants
against the silence

Details
Category: July 2015
dulled blood lines
'the first cut is the deepest'
I tell her

Details
Category: July 2015
future perfect —
a white coffin cradling 
his birth cry

Details
Category: July 2015
fog breath
a patina of me
back at me

Details
Category: July 2015
first love
I enter her taste
of pears

Details
Category: July 2015
poet's bridge
light making light
of the other

Details
Category: July 2015
neverness —
light-melt
in candle tears

Details
Category: July 2015
age-old aches
silence rolled into stone
here is light

Details
Category: July 2015
'yes' he exclaims
at the very end of
the verbal bloom

Details
Category: July 2015
neck shivers!
the sound of a haiku
as it leaves the page

Details
Category: July 2015
new moon
a noumenonal
becoming

Details
Category: July 2015
sighing pines
this chill wind also
has no home

Details
Category: July 2015
word by word
drippling onto
the void

Details
Category: July 2015
fire forks 
in tongues
of prayer

Details
Category: July 2015
polar ice-melt
the Atlantic's urge to lap
Wall Street's banks

Details
Category: July 2015
star-still night
in zenith meditation
a monk's eyes
 

Details
Category: July 2015
half-moon
abuser and abused
as one

Details
Category: July 2015
stillness!
the staccato
of white noise

Details
Category: July 2015
misty moon
a swan lake cowed
by silence

Details
Category: July 2015
dream river
a hush enters
the stage

Details
Category: July 2015
low tide
the endless sighing
of the pines

Details
Category: July 2015
gibbous moon
the hippo awake
a sheep no more

Details
Category: July 2015
skeining words
a smile ping pongs
from eye to eye

Details
Category: July 2015
dream dance
the partners hanging
on a participle

Details
Category: July 2015
elastic dreams
old crones stretch out
the fate of words

Details
Category: July 2015
night terror
Jung awake parses
archetypes

Details
Category: July 2015
novel twist
Ivan contemplates
a parricide

Details
Category: July 2015
Venus in bone
Oedipus on the move
with his platypus

Details
Category: July 2015
withered land
an insomniac erases
the slate

Details
Category: July 2015
dark matter
the background resonance
of our song

Details
Category: July 2015
that rhythm!
do I hear the silence
of cicadas?

Details
Category: July 2015
tidal flats
I hear the heartbeat
of my thoughts

Details
Category: July 2015
listen!
the sound of sleep
from Elsinore

Details
Category: July 2015
coolness!
beginnings erupt
from my end

Details
Category: July 2015
day-fall —
the rat-a-tat-chat
of otherness

Details
Category: July 2015
between our words
we sip eternity
. . . so ordinary!

Details
Category: July 2015

my ears race to the silence at the end of the line

Details
Category: July 2015
at dead low water
in coming and in going
commit coincide

Details
Category: July 2015
spring
in the wings —
earth wake

Details
Category: July 2015
last of us
under a full moon
winter rain

Details
Category: July 2015
once in a . . .
clear water drips
into wine

Details
Category: July 2015
haiku 
fast becoming
the last refuge
of the literary word

Details
Category: July 2015
raw emotion:
over mass extinction
the milky way

Details
Category: July 2015
free of fog
tree image becomes
a tree

Details
Category: July 2015
sound of rain —
left and right of me
the not me

Details
Category: July 2015
deathly still —
against a cloudless sky
a leafless tree

Details
Category: July 2015
today the sky
cheerless 
being clear 

Details
Category: July 2015
lost in light
a trout swirl mid-stream
ends the tale

Details
Category: July 2015
hill folds
as if defined
by fog

Details
Category: July 2015
wading girl
a comet keeps pace
for her
