we're all immigrants
born from bits of stars and flesh
finding our way home

Dead Roses
her eyes question him
about all the dead roses
he always brings her

Strawberries
fields bloomed in strawberries
bold sarcastic valentines
shaming roses

In Times of Rain
were it not for rain
I wouldn’t know how to bloom
where grief seeded me
she cried with laughter
a healing rain in grief’s drought
of withered roses
you loved hearing rain
their notes writing music
that didn’t hold pain

Nesting Moan of Winter
surviving frozen
in the shell of abandoned
wing shivers of red
hatching on empty
fragility of hoping
spring will rise from ash
a featherless bird
i fly the ice of winter
searching for freedom

Pressed Against Glass
april beckons hope

closed palms mourn empty

Insect and Soul ~ Tanka
cicada night song
echoes through my stone
pillow
the shrill crying fills
empty spaces in my soul
stars candle our communion

Haiku My Heart ~ Raven Sky
raven afternoon
feathered invasion of wings
paints coal across sky
