driving by where
a lover once lived
I can only sigh

frantic wings bashing
my walls— here’s an open door
if you’d only look
1291
your shoulders
who’s rubbing them now
fall’s first cold night
1256
old couple argues
cart wheels squeak
long, bumpy road
1255rv
belittle me
so I can slip back
thru the keyhole
1074
squirrel with skinny
well chewed tail
must be married

coffee shop window
old couple watches
lives rushing by
1043
she never scolds
when I miss exits
my cloud mate
(thanks to Simon Hanson for inspiring this)
1014
bright wings, preening
confessing one’s love
how we live on
750
her silence–
that calm before she says
what I have forgotten
564
you always rush out
when I recite new haiku
your mother’s still ill?

our castle in Spain
fell through…but I’ve fed the cats
Happy Valentine’s

vase of cut flowers
or a walk in the redwoods
we also endure

struts and shocks are shot
on our old sturdy Camry
wife wants a new car
with no dashboard cassette deck
for my Eagles collection

hummingbirds harangue
pheasants on weight loss
beat wings faster! faster!

in your next lifetime
choose to be a cat of mine
you could do much worse

vacuum seal popping
our first morning long ago
the fresh roasted smell

from this old footbridge
her image shimmered upon
sun streaked emeralds

no, no more emails
somewhere in warmth and quiet
we’ll mix wine with truth

my past lovers live
in a cold autumn evening’s
imagination
