stone #55

(I finally missed a day, so I’m one stone behind on my 365-straight-days plan. Ah well…)

haiku (stone #50)

woke up with a sore throat
dreading a cold during moving time
:slept on cold floor

all my muscles are tired
I lifted the mattress onto the car by myself
buoyed by unexpected springlike warmth

haiku (stone #48)

I stepped on the ice
it turned out to be a deep, shoe-soaking puddle
(this is and is not a metaphor)

the heater’s fan clicks off
the room is a field of silence
I am imagining Mt. Fuji
I am becoming a mountain

potato and red onion

Kinkaku-ji glows golden on my computer screen
illuminates a Japan-shaped hole in my heart

all but one fell in love with our tour guide

Listen to this poem using the player above.

now its bare arms catch the falling snow

so I will bare my arms, run outside, help it if I can
