[peach blossoms . . .]

peach blossoms

against the slate sky

of her blindness—

she asks

when will they bloom

red lights June 2012

[locked in the curio cabinet . . .]

locked

in the curio cabinet

of my heart . . .

a Dresden shepherdess

still spilling summer flowers

Simply Haiku 10:1, summer 2012

[every summer . . .]

every summer

an orioles’ nest

suspended

at the tip of a branch

my dreams of flying

Simply Haiku 10:1, summer 2012

[goats' eyes . . .]

goats’ eyes

deep marbled spheres

of blue and gold

the cosmos

tugging at my zipper pull
