Another grey sky
crumbles into dusk edge
night shift nurse’s smile.

It finds a way. (haiku)

Porcelain Sink. (haiku)
Cool splashing water
rinses off bruised apricots;
finally, the sun.

Tuesday by the river. (haiku)
The fog drifts around
formless and weeping all day;
June is drunk again.

Undone. (haiku)
A little black bird
frozen under dirty snow—
mom forgets my face.

Window by the bed. (haiku)
Smudge of waxen light
wavers behind endless clouds;
her wet cough returns.

Cold front. (haiku)
An early snowfall
drains warmth from a flower pot;
cat curls up in bed.
