~
• I search for myself ~ with lights from a billion stars ~ and a pitch-black mind
• a giant pearl shines ~ while colored stars rest on sand ~ an ocean of sky
• the words locked inside ~ patient, waiting for release ~ in perfect haiku
• my clouded mind cools ~ the ice thaws and I release, ~ falling as fresh rain
• coming from his rounds, ~ spectres gone, he warms his feet ~ with fur soaked in sun
• raven sees my tears ~ "do not worry, life's a joke" ~ flies away laughing
• a blind woman ~ listening to an email ~ seeing her new dog
• silent house asleep ~ glowing eyes with tail held low ~ shooing away ghosts
• all ferrets sleeping ~ cherubs, who could have never ~ destroyed the whole house...
• she looks at her face ~ in a charcoal drawing hung ~ next to the mirror
• single snowflake drops ~ extinguishing the candle ~ pumpkin stops smiling
• from a great distance ~ snow falling on breaking waves ~ blending with seagulls
• tiny meteor ~ crashes through NASA's window ~ note: "take that" - the moon
• woman with black eye ~ tells the waiting room proudly ~ that she was beat up
• the symphony starts ~ the first crescendo of rain ~ sounding on the grass
• from the trunks of trees ~ moss watching the floating leaves -- ~ deep green with envy
• reading people's tweets ~ like picking out a new life ~ from a catalog
• faraway sirens ~ the neighborhood dogs howling -- ~ then silence wakes me
• homeless, babbling ~ hassling passers-by, staggers ~ daring them to care
