bedridden:
on the radio innings drift
in and out of sleep

honeybees
living in the wall-
the realtor’s frown



the parking lot full
of glittering chrome:
Custer’s battlefield



longer than my break
the spring sun
holds me



after the party
undressing
myself

K-Mart toy section:
a child watches another
cry

far end of town,
wide u-turn
the hot rod


cicada whining –
she’s already talking
about Christmas




back from vacation…
fiddling and fiddling with
the combination




minimal order-
the waiter looks out
the window

chicory blue
out of concrete rubble

morning zazen:
marriage counseling
ourselves



daybreak frost
the sound of leaves falling
through leaves

under the manhole
the night gives
a gurgle

goldenrod gall
quivers-
blowing snow

the old canoe
the only piece of roof
left on the shed



end to end
three Ramblers take part
in the overgrown field



everyday she waits
at the bus stop;
just to wait



the summer it rained
all summer…
dwarf sunflowers without faces



cleaning the poop out…
his little Superman
underpants



Modern Haiku vol. XXIV, no.1 Winter-Spring, 1993

she’s waited up…
to have some last words
with me


a solemn part
another baby
babbles



the plumber
kneeling in our tub
– talking to himself


staff meeting-
he stands his pen
on end



our son spills his milk –
not an iota
of reaction from him



sentinel pine-
roots running every which way
showered in moonlight



back to its hole-
the woodchuck shot through
its hindquarters



Modern Haiku vol. XXIX no. 1 Winter-Spring, 1998
