#30 & #31

#30

the fly in my room

beats against the bare light bulb:

quicker winter death.

#31

girl in red sweater

stands on rock in swift river,

at home in the flow.

This is a cheater one, because I actually wrote it yesterday but didn't post it because I wrote a second better one... but I am getting so busy! so I will post it now. Aaaaggghhhh... My brain may just explode one of these days. Watch out.

#29

single leaf on ground

discarded, dappled with dew—

i step around it.

#28

pond is like steamed milk,
the day's heat rising to mist,
under a full moon.

#27

awake in the dark

to the body dancing to

itself— primal sway.

#26

moon a white penny,

showing rainbows in the clouds...

this dark is all light.

#25

I managed to only write 2/3 of one for yesterday... the term is heating up, agh! And don't mean in reference to temperature, because that is going down. I am grateful for my haikus to remind me to take advantage of those small moments of Zen. (And I'll need all the Zen I can get to make it through the week!) Anyway, here is today's:

#25

my heart swoons for you—

can you see it on the floor?

step lightly, would you?

#22, #23 & #24

We just had our "Long Weekend" (more accurately "Fall Hesitation"), so I was not posting on this every day as I should've been. Here are few I did write over the break:

#22

clouds part to half moon

rain stops washing the windows

blue appears again

#23

shoulders together

without a word on the train—

stillness in the buzz.

#24

hills of calm fire:

new every time i see them,

making up this land.
