trudge trudge trudge
slip trudge trudge trudge slip trudge:
Albany blizzard
Tag: stone
more and more empty space
in my apartment, I mean
no two are alike
as they fall from the winter sky:
poisoned birds
all my muscles are tired
I lifted the mattress onto the car by myself
buoyed by unexpected springlike warmth
I stepped on the ice
it turned out to be a deep, shoe-soaking puddle
(this is and is not a metaphor)
heavy boxes shift
my footing loose on icy driveway
:keeping my balance
flooded sidewalks
walking on the glistening asphalt:
February thaw
how it ends:
a winter breeze stirs the curtains
no one is coming
walking in the street
cars passing too closely:
icy sidewalks
the heater’s fan clicks off
the room is a field of silence
I am imagining Mt. Fuji
I am becoming a mountain
This haiku is largely an inside joke. Sorry about that.

warm miso soup
cold soba & the taste of avocado
way better than Chipotle (TM)
biting breeze
blows the curtains in and out
I breathe
There are many difficulties associated with meditation. Also, I guess this technically is a senryu rather than a haiku, the difference being that haiku have an element of nature and senryu are usually about human nature.

count the breaths … four
think of kissing you
…one
icy rain
soaring Decemberists:
I’m moving on

Citalopram
fills the broken tub
in my head
Listen to these poems using the player above.

salty dream
awaken to the chime
…sit
