Haiku diary

Complex moments break
down into vignettes when brief
words define their state.

Vaccuming

“You suck!” becomes a
delightful metaphor for
taking it all in.

Rejection

Hives. Itching. As if
her body can’t coexist
with her sense of self.

Best day ever

Post-audition, she
was mobbed with requests, star-to-
be in student films.

Hearing herself on CD

When her voice leaves her
body, recorded, it’s a
stranger who comes out.

Project Runway

Cut pin stitch fabric
stretch confines of clothing to
become catwalk art.

Women artists

Hands on hip, baby,
sketchbook. Diapering, drawing,
birthing creation.

Channel surfing at 3 am

Late night TV a
wonderland of fast money
junkyard of trashed dreams.

The doctor will be with you shortly

Latex gloves. Cotton
swabs. Antiseptic. What would
MacGyver create?

She watches me…

…create. Impatient
that I won’t pay attention
when I’m writing stuff.
