Scar Tissue – Haiku

hate is an ember
that burns only who holds it
let go and you’ll heal

Tide Me Over – Haiku

edge of the ocean
salt starts a craving for sea
comes to me in waves

his wooden narwhal
sits in its place on a shelf
I stare in envy

the day I accept
that your heart forgot my love
is the day mine stops

it is raining now
it has never really stopped
like tears from that day

smell of evergreen
in a November forest
can take you back home

night comes earlier
snot runs down my nose as quick
streetlights guide me home

blades of summer grass
dancing to the tune of life
may I have this dance

summer is closing
September trips at its door
a fall worth taking

A blinking cursor
the heartbeat of a writer
stories forever
