Cover by Jerome Berglund

 

many lights 

in the fog, and a 

hospital gown

 

hibiscus rears up

sticks out a long red tongue

and hisses

 

straining 

against harpoons 

won’t succumb 

 

distant shore —

gather on beach squinting,

signal with mirrors

 

 

trampled grass

past the ghosts

of lions 

 

retinal scan patchy clouds

       SPRING

    aiming
for presentable –
    fluffing the pillows

 

      SUMMER

    in the garden
friar and larks
    commune with lichen


Poems within previous appeared in:

Black and White Haiga, Cold Moon,
Haiku Dialogue, HaikUniverse, Scarlet Dragonfly

 

      FALL

    shadow play
across the cornstalks
    one outline passes another

 

 

      WINTER

    unfinished tree fort
with no platform
    still we climb

 

      NEW YEAR

    free standing ashtray
wrapped in honeysuckle –
    forgiven trespasses

 

      SEASONLESS

    bunches of ants
carrying great twig
    the village it takes
