wrapping
your arms around me
lakeside breeze

envious...
how water moves
with the wind

no make-up
today I greet nature
as I am

diamonds...
what the sun makes
of the ocean

*Published in issue #113 of Hedgerow: a journal of small poems

the wind conjures
a ghost story

spilling into mine

morning cumbia
a little espresso
then a little more

*Published by Ama no gawa on 5/7/17 and translated into Italian by Elisa Allo

Cumbia al mattino
Un po’ di espresso
poi un po’ di più

midday improv
Charles Mingus
on shuffle

spotty internet
blowing the dust
off life

and now
a moment of silence...
dead cellphone

*Published in Issue #17 of Failed Haiku
crimson sunset
what you've said
what I've said

spicing things up
one side of the room
painted orange

one yellow sock
one blue
whatever - no one looks

*Published in the May issue of brass bell: a haiku journal
**crimson sunset was translated into Italian by Eufemia Griffo on her blog Memorie di una geisha:

tramonto cremisi
quello che hai detto
quello che ho detto
