1812 overture -

the bell player

takes a nap

miscarriage

I drink her tears

through the phone

the words

she never believed -

paper moon

kicking stars -

old men still boys

with jelly knees

haijinx volume IV, issue 1, March 2011

car wash -

cleaning the winter blues

muddy waters

got down on my knees

slowhand in the mud

mud slide -

getting down and dirty

screamin jay

two haijin

on the same page

different ku

leaky ink pen

in my shirt pocket

her sigh

mourning card -

he plucks grey hairs

from his eyebrows

vigil for the victim -

with a gun in her purse

she weeps

boxing day ~

fresh cardboard boxes

for the homeless
