July 28 haiku

For all of my "smarts"
I never even noticed
when the spring ended.

July 26 haiku

Even cicadas
Become silent at the sight
Of tonight's full moon.

July 21 haiku

Everything will wilt
In this heat: offerings, blooms,
All that we hold dear.

July 15 haiku

Bus ride: Fat loud girl,
Slurpee, disfiguring burn--
Who the hell am I?

July 12 haiku

Diving in, tasting,
Twisting, panicking, dying--
The fruit flies we drowned.

My Publishing Career Comes to Its End

Final signature
July wind tears the last page
No Royalty here!

July 7 haiku

Spiders all around,
Traces of their helpless prey
Snared in the system.

July 4 Haiku

Every moment is--
Sunset is wrapped in sunrise,
Dawn swaddled in night.

July 1 Haiku

Seen through a window,
And only between branches--
Waxing golden moon.
