one step follows another and
when we meet an impasse
the downhill side smiles

calm calamity casually calls
telling us a story of freak and fret
where without walks wanting

three word wednesday:  sliver, downhill, freak

cuddling the core
mortal unmentionables

2.
catching quiet wind
grasping loosely never told
sand slipping stories

3.
coyote calm coo
he clearly saw the remains
heartfelt howl hiss

4.
i’m trying you know
leaving it all behind me
dead dry roses cry

recuerda mi corazon [haiku my heart]

breakfast at marvelous midnight
a soft small naughty little need

egg cracking quiet, my bare feet
feel the cool floor collateral

window gazing wander, night’s zenith of
bright stars blanket above blue benign

boiling water whistle awakening
a taunt tactic of one’s clear collusion

broken bits of gone awry remain
shall we sooth a sore asunder

crouched our bold once barren
one convincing cry takes flight

our naughty little needs contend
puncture and pierce the soft tissue beating

later drying sheets alone
tumbling telling tales wag

outside tiny birds chirping chatter
seize the soundless summoning inside

finally finding fate
he had this funny feeling
the possibility of kismet
couldn’t be favorable towards floating

always wanting more
he had to settle for far less
