First time kayak class;
green and yellow maple leaves
wobble on the lake.

Contusion. (haiku)
Blue mottled with black,
thick clouds clot above concrete—
right eye swollen shut.

Rust Belt. (haiku)
Junkie ghouls linger
near the Kmart sepulchre—
new necropolis.

Flophouse. (haiku)
Near the toppled chair
half empty bottles and cans;
coffin flies gather.

Toothsome. (haiku)
Mosquitoes buzz near
sticky red strawberry hands—
swift sting of sweetness.

The City. (haiku)
Bulldozed skyscraper—
hard hats and fat grey pigeons
linger in the sun.

Raincheck. (haiku)
Evening thunderstorm
floods an empty alleyway—
she drinks his stale tea.
