now freed the turtle
swims beneath the lily pads
new friends arriving
La Cutura 11 September 2021
now freed
haiku
summertime patience
summertime patience
waiting for the bee to buzz
longing for arrival
powder falls
powder falls as dust
in the meantime so hopeful
we do all we must
Cinderella fell
Cinderella fell hard
a glassy slipperiness
downhill to the prince
under the snow
under the snow grass
dreaming of summer sunlight
under the snow hope
bare branches
bare branches tangle
across the face of the moon
my love is simple
reaction
a hot swirl of rage
questioning all decisions
reason approaches
drawing
charcoal
snow paper
I stare
not understanding
the curve of a smile
now the fog has cleared
now the fog has cleared
sky limpid, sun on green hils
oh how you are missed
I like foggy days
I like foggy days
I can pretend you are here
oh
how much you are missed
