footsteps approaching
mouse clicking, screen flickering
I pretend to work

I read my email
another ten minutes gone
my code is still broke

A winter bus ride
we gaze outside at darkness
and a reflection

Striking terror
the question, was she with him?
Unanswered riddle
brilliant autumn day
volcanoes sleep as airplanes
draw lines on the sky

Silent winter glade
footprints enter and then leave
steaming yellow snow

Relentless summer day
Crossing an alpine trail
a cool stream; we plunge in

rising from the table
the scent of wine, of turkey,
and an afternoon nap
smooth, white empty sheet
moving pen, drying ink
a haiku is born

morning rush hour
cars next to mine go forward
this lane will not move

quiet afternoon
her footprints long grown cold
the phone does not ring

One a.m., I see
the city still burns brightly
outside my window
more back home
01.06.02
 
despair, desire
one gives way to the other
desire, despair
