haiku



The water closes

over me, warm, soft, scented.

This bath is quite deep.

Forsythia turns

from bloom to leaf while I wait

for the rain to stop.

The cup warms my hands.

Sun bakes bare roadside

trees so toxic even the

I listen to the

wind wooing my windows and

hope they won't sucumb.

haiku (for Max - Rest in peace.)


Our cat has left us

along with Summer's warmth, but

we must carry on.

I was certain that the cat was dead, but I was afraid to pet him one last time. Part of me thought if I touched him he would move. I don't know why that frightened me because it would have meant that he was alive. I will miss him. He welcomed me into this home with love and enthusiastic affection. I petted him goodbye for that.

I feel encased in

the winter ice. The cold has

seeped into my bones.

The threat of weather

keeps me indoors, but fails to

materialize.

I tried not to hover over his shoulder as I remembered how much that annoyed me when people did it to me, but I was fascinated by the skill of his hands as he manipulated the tiny wires, disks and crystals in the model. "If I can just figure out the dimensions, I can get the entire space/time continuum up and running again."

I enjoy the crunch

of leaves underfoot, knowing

they'll be raked up soon.
