There isn't a mission. There isn't a goal. It's just words on fake paper, sliding and tripping and flowing all over the place, because we're all full up on words in here and there is no way we can keep them inside. Like Tony says, "Nothing in here is true."

doldrum haiku

I

joyous holidays
annual beacon of joy
fleeting and migrant

II

striped turf in Philly
peppered with mistakes and hurt
tear salt saturates

III

midnight green now blue
high expectations cut down
eagles nurse deep wounds

IV

friend lost a brother
hard to accept raven’s news
he mourns like before

V

circuitous wheel
continues with birth of girl
Maryland daughter

VI

tea kettle whistles
reminds me to be grateful
rain blitzkriegs windows

VII

February late
the purple promise of spring
crocus I adore
