in the road
teach me your kung fu
Category: haiku
budburst time
even the empty bench
is turning green
finding where the night goes
cave water
small seeds
the prayer-like feeling
of patting dirt
whitening sky
seed potatoes cut down
to one eye each
one snow
the forest is fully awake for
doomed blooms
sun-drenched spring woods
finding a dead leaf
to wipe my brow
fiddleheads
every hour less spring,
more escape
gravel mountain
a waterthrush
ready for business
football stadium
pear trees advertising
for sex
our mountain of lost hemlocks
speaking in moss
Appalachian spring
the pale green sugar
maples’ sun
