“Have you been writing
your haiku journal?” he asked.
You read. You know ‘no.’

“Have you been writing
your haiku journal?” he asked.
You read. You know ‘no.’
With short hair he looks
like a grey human baby.
He’ll never talk back.
Intention shines high
above like a star I see
and dream of reaching.
The more I write the
more I lose my hold on words
that speak without me.
Wind chimes jangle in
the breeze. Nature’s alarm clock
saying, “Go to sleep.”
My fingers talk my
eyes listen my head makes it
up my heart hungers.
Commute through fiber
optic cable to a home
built by words not deeds
Through the rainforest.
Lunch at Rhythms Rainbow Beach,
then Carambola.
Lazy day, lazy
night. Dinner at seven with
turkey and plantains.
Nut brown ale. Oatmeal
stout. Bayside, we eat gumbo,
salads, tan through lunch.
