Paper Tickets

Flashing lights
in my rear view,

But officer,
I want to say,

You should really
be pulling

the musicians over
for making

such good
music.

Sweet Friends Haiku

Like handmade books on
a bathroom shelf, a home full
of wisdom and love.

On Death

Along the
spectrum
of letting go,

we hold
each other up. Not
so unexpected,

as unfathomable,
these passages
and passings,

as breath
gives way
to empty space

that beckons us
to find new ways
of being utterly

alive.

One haiku

There is only one
truth: we are trying to make
our way toward love.

Musician

Draw out
the secret notes

with slow patience
by firelight,

with nothing to do
but sip red wine

and take your time
to coax

the sweetest song
from electric

strings,
where at least

one thousand more
are hidden.

Opening Haiku

In the shelter of
candlelight, darkness reveals
her invitation.
