Haughty sea gulls hop
Among sparkles of seafoam,
Dying jellyfish

Koi
looking down
into the koi pond
I see a rainbow reflected
from the sky above
If I look up
will I see
koi swimming
in the clouds?

haiku
riptide winds
stir the pine trees
scent of spring
yellow azalea
childhood memories
at sunset
a single star
awaits night

farewell, 1995
virga-veiled sunset gleams greenly
Spring, too full of life
paints the sky.
bloated apricot clouds hang
in aqueous air
almost midnight.
Solstice light now for coven
witchy word women huddle
and prepare one of their own.
tell stories of bayous thunderstorms snakes
pirates and pigs
Strange romance.
funny things these heart
Strings
begin but never end.
later, mist shrouded moon
Speeds my flight home
godspeed yours.
to parched, foreign place
you will make it bloom
with your words.

Cold
stylish woman
shivers in a thin dress
winter dog walk
icicle spikes
the broken gutter
tooth of winter
like a waning
moon
I rise late

unreasonable
unreasonable
beauty, a winter morning
last rose of the year

As the Crows Fly
Each evening, one half hour before sunset, crows fly to roost
Copper light by strange alchemy turned silver on the black gloss of their wings
To light the moon or the night gold eyes of owls and bats
And to draw in the hapless moth for a midnight snack

horrible beauty
even here
one thousand miles away
ghosts of California fires
shroud the Sun
in horrible beauty
Haiku for October 29th
I enjoy my consciousness
he said, but then died
leaving us to enjoy ours
less
