Winter Haikus

Winter Scenes, 2010


try dropping from different heights --Annie Dillard

i.
falling snow: gently--
monochromatic sky, earth,
clouds shrugging off dreams.

ii.
apocalyptic
sighs as we hop through muddy
deep snows,together

iii.
the taste of shallow
dust, dirty, earthen, deeply
heart broken; alive

iv.
dropped the lights,
a cold night--coldest--
reflections

v.
like snow, epicycles,
contrived beauty, swirling ash:
the sharpwinter stars.

vi.
there are more coming,
heliocentric husks of
days; mornings like these.
