HAIKU

Solo, Duo 2
black & white birds explode from the trashcan
	the dog's waterbowl refills itself
in play alone on the shady side of the sand pile the quiet boy
	half moon – a white face stands out in Harlem
night fog sinking into the bayou cricket's song         (dedicated to Basho)
	1 ◦ 2 ◦ 3 ◦ 4 ◦ 5 fireflies in a midnight field light on my black dress
blood moon my daughter steps into the river
	warm breeze wanting to hear again my name in your voice
from the goat casting of stones, language in a swarm of stones
	trees what will we leave you with
in the night intestine the fingers of a sea anemone waving
	segments of truth taken by blowing wind undivided
knitting pattern knits on in knits
	weaving clouds … a koi leaves the moon behind
seedlings thinned the red-haired girl's darker twin
	the beautiful language of Egypt carved into her myth
wind sharpens in the cemetery a white-tailed crow
	hanging white moon a breast unbound by black silk
a rainbow arch above the cherry trees... no fat man, no little boy
