Haiku

Haiku:

New Zealand 1/11/09

Tonight a full moon

Hung ripe over Cockle Bay

Orange as peach flesh

New Zealand 1/18/09

Silver beets outside

Bend down in the summer rain

As if bowed in prayer

Cambodia, Siem Reap April 2009

I do not know how

Drinking from this fire hose

To appease my thirst

Kathmandu, Nepal July 2009

Birth then Life then Death

The wonderful symmetry

Death then Life then Birth

Rajistan, India August 2009

Hindu techno thrust

Gyrating orange, red, gold

Turn me inside out

Germany Winter 2010

In Berlin I crossed

over – East to West – and through

to the other side.

Czech Republic Winter 2010

Czech fields – white and black;

rabbit runs to safety where

the sky meets the trees.

Spain Winter 2010

Spanish countryside

whirred past like watercolor;

my unfocused eyes.

Other

Too used to things

I discover trying won’t

Ease the wandering.

I went wandering

just trying to discover

how I used to be.
