Handful of turquoise
begs to be strung with silver
draped around my neck.
Beading obsession

Vintage style
Grey army trenchcoat
or lime green sixties jacket
J can pull off both.
Johnny the homicidal maniac
The Director’s Cut
in her hands M reads snuggled
with her Uglydoll.
Panasonic possibilities
Got a new camera.
What moments will it capture
in pixels and bytes?
J on a binge
Ransacks the kitchen.
Demands she needs chocolate.
Pacified by Dove.
Winter break
We sleep late and do
little. Spend quality time.
Together, enough.
Leap year
February’s haste
to usher in an early
March slowed by one day.
Lunar eclipse
Luminous suitor,
the moon dimmed by darkness’s
seductive regard.
When she’s sick
Teenager curled up
becomes baby J who’s glad
that mommy’s nearby.
haiku envy
greatness revealed in
the sound of splinters, words that
pierce my jealous eyes.
