2010





sunlit moon
the whiskey shines
between sips

The Heron's Nest XII:4, December 2010




                                                                    shoreline breeze
                                                                    she twirls the umbrella
                                                                    in my drink

muddy pond
I play the role of a ghost
to fish

The Heron's Nest XII:3, September 2010




                                                                    empty bottles . . .
                                                                    another drunkard
                                                                    full of himself

                                                                    Shamrock No. 15, September 2010




at the end of vacation moldy bread

Shamrock No. 15, September 2010





                                                                    sunlit slush
                                                                    I take to church
                                                                    an unforgiving hangover

                                                                    Shamrock No. 15, September 2010

                                                                



August moon
the dead dog's bowl
bone dry

The Shiki Monthly Kukai August 2010





                                                                    a cockroach
                                                                    on the welcome mat . . .
                                                                    motel dusk

                                                                    The Heron's Nest XII:2, June 2010




after the argument . . .
a night so quiet
I can't sleep

Modern Haiku 41.2, summer 2010




                                                                    frosty morning
                                                                    I apologize for something
                                                                    I did in her dream

Death Valley:
a man who's never been there
tells me all about it

The Heron's Nest XII:1, March 2010




                                                                    a handful of static
                                                                    from the kitten's back
                                                                    winter chill

                                                                    Frogpond 33:1, winter 2010




a frog caught
by the mower's blades
gathers flies
