March yielded two haikus and that was it.
first balmy March night
orion's belt and his sword
gaining clarity
slicing an apple
almost spring rain and bird song
restful not final
And the first haiku of April
laundry hung to dry
sound of saws, trucks and chickens
April hot as June

wake from nap's nightmare
glory of winter sunshine
snow melts, bluebirds sing
tree's snow draped arms curve
up and around morning sky
fingertips touch air

under the oak's arm
waning moon at 5 am
dreams and false alarms

nearly full moon ringed
promising tomorrow's snow
hopes on portents hang

sky wavers with clouds
breeze wafts and lifts hair and hem
words wait while thoughts lapse

watching five bluebirds
perched at January's end
now and not symbol
between night and day
my fleeting favorite blue
deep breathes and heart breaks
for LC:)
women in kitchens
preparing for our daughters
selves and cakes and worlds
(for K.:)
half moon half empty
scones golden and soft baking
comfort you offer

warm soapy water
plate in my hands does not mourn
hands that made its shape
i read of desire
to understand or withstand
she kneads dough to rise

winter and midlife
dishes always need washing
you are far away
another morning
woodpecker's red mohawk seen
sharing words not sights

on clear winter days
limits illuminated
windows full of hills
