Frogpond

From the latest issue:

high risk of fire in my bones the dance of pinecones

—————-

my name in a woman’s tight hand yellow leaves


all our plans for November cold leftovers

mid autumn again I pick up Anna Karenina

all the faces aghast the luck I’ve had & haven’t

rain taps a tune on the AC the edge of a good mood

season of a small loneliness the liquid grey sky

Modern Haiku

From the latest issue:  

  

blossoms in the wind

I never managed

to die young

————

the nurse’s perfume

I still think

I’m the exception

————

between new bosons monkeys finish with Shakespeare

the song of one apartment in fog a lone sparrow

winter the scientific names of butterflies

bare trees

a broken umbrella

from a tropical drink
