vibrant woman gone
her wake, fragrant with citrus
bright laughter now quenched

Haiku from August & early September 2010
4 Sept
sly smile at midnight / invitation or challenge / demure advances
suspended courage / retreat advance and retreat / the tango lesson
-- alternate first line: suspended passion
1 Sept
charm added sometimes / in perfect asymmetry / an offbeat beauty
31 August
composes matins / in wonder dedicated / to the morning rose
mote glints, rising up / languid drift of soft shadow / cat rises, stretching
cream swirls on the surface / mug set down, laps ceramic / grey drifts, transparent
mote glints, rising up / languid drift of soft shadow / cat rises, stretching
cream swirls on the surface / mug set down, laps ceramic / grey drifts, transparent
26 August
when I weave a spell / you still listen and respond / tattooed memory
subtle overture / indirect response tendered / how unexpected
22 August
No direct contact
Yet information passes
We stalk each other
Intent encrypted
Longing, rebuke, reprimand
in passing comments
Agendas obscured
kinder emotions denied
Unlike: ignore, block

Haiku from 11 July
loud unbroken silence
in between unspoken words
waiting for his response
in between unspoken words
waiting for his response
summer of her discontent
stifling stifled shrieks
the plates hit the wall
wary circling, dodging shards
to get to the fridge
domestic warfare
lull in the hostilities
uneasy detente
weekends together
endless appointments at the
unbeauty parlor
endless appointments at the
unbeauty parlor
bandaid camouflage
weary of caustic damage
a limping exit
Haiku from June 18th
start small and careful
offer simple images
water in cupped palms
intimacy there
how you cup my hands to drink
your mouth to my palms
---
snowflake kisses drift
perfect stars melt in my mouth
and on my raised face
---
Incorrigible
Mad flirt tells me my charms
I encourage him
when you talk to me
air becomes eroticized
caress by proxy
slaked and slaked again
unquenchable appetite
rises phoenix-like
-----on the beach in no moonlight
the sea and I lap at her shell body
her breathing in time with the tides
salt and musk combined
Absorbed on her skin
Erotic alchemy
sand in uncomfortable places
ends their interlewd
---
At the laundromat
He feeds the machines
She pairs and folds
Next load started
Off to Starbucks for coffee
Back to load dryer
Damp clothes in baskets
Bra straps trail over the edge
Couldn't take the heat

Back to load dryer

Bra straps trail over the edge
