fish sleep under ice
foxes winter in their dens
cats curl by the stove
Month: February 2019
2294
my poor toddler
buttons always misbuttoned
socks always mismatched
2293
pets better insured
than my free enterprise ass
‘tis of thee I sing
2292
cats play with a mouse
why do my sympathies shift
?
2291
a young maidservant
eager to take out the trash
fresh, cold morning air
2290
perfectly mirrored
in the windshield and hood
tangles of branches
2289
chanting from next door
a method to her gladness
repair with prayer
2288
stubs his toe bathing
the lifelong buddhist screams out
jesus and mary
2287
unexpected glee
at my post office box
a late valentine
2286
gets into my pants
penetrates beneath the skin
a stiff polar wind
2285
bits of memory
fireflies in a glass jar
lid rusting away
2284
who’s in the mirror
Kerouac? Fats Domino?
I shave to find out
(inspired by Joe Michaelson)
2283
woodpeckers etching
saint valentine’s day greetings
limbs of young oak flex
2282
grinding coffee beans
careful not to grind the cat
dark winter morning
2281
monarch butterflies
dapple Mexico— gringos
say none can return
2280
infant cries and cries
I know how you feeI– I could
cry the whole night, too
2279
TV on full blast
my aunt lies asleep, eyes shut
she changes channels
2278
for posterity
my leather bound poetry
the grandkid pukes on
latest FHaiku
2277
cats hug the heater
old men coughing and hacking
winter lingering
