CERTAIN PUNISHMENT:
counting syllables
as Basho and Ito laugh–
Incongruous hail.
*
NEXT TO ME
american dream
roof down, hand on the throttle
her hellacious curves
*
ROADSIDE JUNK
Old man evicted
As cawing crows circle
Dive-bombing his life
*
METEOR SHOWER
She quiets my words
Allowing airbrushed intent
On our night bodies
SHHHHHHHhhhhh
her cool, detached eye/studies
pastoral thumbnails/painting still waters… that was a tease , a dreaded haiku in the midst.
