Three Haikus
Whirling leaves, snow, birds
Frenzied seasons circle a
Patient bicycle.
y-branch tree
steel cables bit in
screws in bone
We yanked the stump out.
That pretty blue spruce is just
A memory now.

That pretty blue spruce is just
A memory now.

Cold air tumbling
through the window, dissipates
on warm fingertips
lost in my own head
hooked back into the present
by a cat’s bright eyes
cracked TV on curb
sleet falls, white fuzz collecting
the static escaped
Starlings murmurate
Three hundred birds in a bush
Chirp a rolling boil
She who lives
Worrying on death
Forgets life
