Brown-gray lizard stalks...

Brown-gray lizard stalks
a cricket-- bright-eyed crow
watches every move.

Why keep living?

Why keep living?
Well... There're those blue flowers
on the rosemary, for a start.

Senryu from 4/9/15

Useless twin blanket!
My feet stick out,
uncovered.

4/9/15

In the gray cell,
her memories turn to
green grass and poppies.

4/9/15

Removing "I want,"
Living in the moment,
Freedom is ours.

The Lizards and I: Two Haiku

Seeing my shadow, 
lizards flee into tall grass.
I've disturbed the peace!

---------------------------

Bright sun warms grey rock--
the lizard's patterned back
blending in.

Not Haiku

I kiss where she hacked her skin.
People ask about the scars.
I kiss them,
and tell her to lie about why she has them,
because most people don't need to know.
