close-talking Jesus

You Are So Human (a 5-11-5 haiku)

You are so human.
You’ve always lived on a gas called oxygen,
and you always will.

Deer Dream (a 11-13-11 haiku)

I had breakfast set in a splendid valley.
It was wet and more or less all over everything.
I ate it like I was a deer, then was shot.

disgusting and ridiculous in a dance club
growing very small glaciers

Moby Dick Haiku ​

Still on Moby Dick?
They say it’s no mere whale tale,
but I’m not that sure.

I do remember

I had logs (7-10-7 haiku)

I had logs in a good spot,
only to decide to have a bonfire,
and the room went up in smoke.


blackout poem, source: “Fungi Fundamentals,” Beth D’Addono, Philadelphia Daily News, 2/9/12, p. 26.

[you can always see the mountain]

you can always see
the mountain when it’s cloudy
close your eyes and see

we have etched it there
inside both of your eyelids
we thought you’d like it

Box of Trader Joe’s Beef Broth on a Bench at a Bus Stop New Year’s Eve

cold broth from a box
as the kindness of strangers
don’t come with a stove
