haiku

Cinderella fell

December 30, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

Cinderella fell hard
a glassy slipperiness
downhill to the prince

under the snow

December 29, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

under the snow grass
dreaming of summer sunlight
under the snow hope

bare branches

December 28, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

bare branches tangle
across the face of the moon
my love is simple

reaction

December 23, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

a hot swirl of rage
questioning all decisions
reason approaches

drawing

November 18, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

charcoal
snow paper
I stare
not understanding
the curve of a smile

now the fog has cleared

October 2, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

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

year three quarters done

September 25, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

autumn beginning
winds freshen, a first spitting
still you are not here

in the shadow

September 14, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

in the shadow gold

cheekbones, hair and eyes

I breathe slow, breathless

they pulled off their shirts

August 12, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

they pulled off their shirts
the light through their chests shone dark
dreams slowly gathered
