A little black bird
frozen under dirty snow—

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.

October sidewalk. (haiku)
Black and white pigeon
struggles with her crooked wing;
windswept umbrella.

Skyscraper. (haiku)
Tempered glass towers
manufactured for the Gods;
rust covered shovel.

The field. (haiku)
Seamless ashen clouds
cloak a deep autumn sunset;
wet leaves cling to wool.

Backlot. (haiku)
An ocean of shale
couldn’t keep lovers apart—
weeds reach for the sun.
