boundless

the stars within

a rose

an endless ocean

such are

the dreams of mine

not even twilight can contain this silence

 oh how easily i soak up the folds of a primrose

intimacy like the way freesia exhales

 oh i have been the untamed river

 morning clouds

i pull the night

back into my bones

upon my eyelashes

the remnants

of forgotten stars

37 years

how long it took

to love myself

*

1st kiss

how quickly the universe

expands

*Published in the October 2021 issue of brass bell: a haiku journal

 my hand gently

caresses her face

(i knew i wasn’t straight)

*

recurring nightmare

the wolf licks his lips

beside my bed

*

teenage rebellion

i crush the cig with my

steel-toe combat boots

*Published in the July 2021 issue of brass bell: a haiku journal

 a robin then a wren

oh how i love

this sticky dawn

*Published in the June 2021 issue of brass bell: a haiku journal

wild youth

i used to pull my

food from the earth

*

bowl of soup

when i just

need a hug

*

no regrets

i eat the whole

pint of ice cream

*Published in the May 2021 issue of brass bell: a haiku journal 

 motherless

i pull the moon in

a little closer

*Published in the March 2021 issue of brass bell: a haiku journal

 fuchsia twilight

sometimes i

forget to breathe

*Published in the February 2021 issue of brass bell: a haiku journal

 dust gathers

for once i am

fine with that

*Published in the January 2021 issue of brass bell: a haiku journal

hallelujah!

good hair

on a rainy day

squiggles on paper

my niece says

it's a dinosaur

sisters

after all these years

friends

quiet storm

I close my eyes

to listen

*Published in the October issue of brass bell: a haiku journal

ah...

hot water 

meets the teabag

cozy bath

my ally

in healing

daydream

to be the river

filled with light

*Published in the September issue of brass bell: a haiku journal

pizza for breakfast

my inner child

giggles
