haiku envy
greatness revealed in
the sound of splinters, words that
pierce my jealous eyes.
Delayed gratification
Let delight ripen
into a sweet juicy pear
True joy takes patience.

I walk in. He licks
my hand, grabs my fingers with
gentle teeth, won’t let go.

grip as small drops melt merge run
in noisy trickles.

Dawn the breath of a
new day paused when night exhales
sunrise dimmed by fog.

Bloody mess of a
play that has you laughing at
clots of gore and death.

Today was her last
day on a job I said ‘don’t
