Stoplight Haiku

meeting a beast
in a hot spring
in a garden

met my old
self in a song;
hello

24 years old
driving Mack to court
windows down, singing

man, woman, waving.
man, woman, waving

sky fell
from underneath me;
then I had garden tomato

….a winter street.
I can always remember Phil Liggett’s name.
(Summer!)

eleven mercies
dressed for war
eleven mercies dressed for june

hot as jesus
hot as necessity
hot as waiting
