severe turbulence
even this haiku
does not distract me
after the breakup
orphaned
emojis

****
after the breakup
emojis
are all that’s left

with a real pipe
the artificial snowman
watches the skiers

****
all the same
I slip and fall
on artificial snow
magpies
on the chimney pot
menacing

seafood restaurant
unable to stop watching
the lobster tank

****
lobsters
claws banded
waiting to be boiled

****

seafood restaurant
could I liberate
the lobsters?

late winter morning
early sunrise
warming up a crow

winter to spring
hoping
for light mornings


long rows
of white stones
soldiers’ last dreams

sweating
at the gym
when will it end

admiring the crocuses
I step

Gamblers' Anonymous
should I go...?
floodlight running track
a lonely goose
joins us

last night's haiku
in the morning
...gone
the skylark
impossible
to locate

closing the curtain
another evening
unfolds

the boxer
preparing
to take a dive

Monday morning
the smell
of sour milk

flooded frozen fens
a goose glides
over the ice

leaving
the fog
a landscape

frosty field
where the farmer
has been

freezing fog
sheep
not moving

buttock marks
on the wall
light snow

knowing too much
about the woman
behind me
