A Sprinkling of Haiku for you:
.
alive
with stillness
standing by the meadow
.
bees humming
tipping pink edges
of the white hydrangea
.
rusty wheel
on the rock wall
color weeping
.
one bird chirp
joins
the cricket song.

black toes-white toes throw
the sand out of hearts and souls-
into sea to change!

Don in 1988
.
living with you is a “stretch”:
climbing to the man-cave
hanging from the monkey bars
lowering the toilet seat
moving the car seat back
clearing the dishes in the sink
moving things from the washer to dryer
folding the clothes
stacking on shelves
finding the remote
cleaning the bird poop from the deck
balancing the tires on the Rogue
waxing the paint
manicuring your nails
tailoring your pants
listening to your encyclopedic lessons
starting over each day
taking time for the tidbits
being washed downstream with you.
coo coo ki choo!

“Are you going to tase me, bro?”

each star’s silent dance
folding into night”
