Haiku #12

and I drink and drink
and fall down on the pavement
and you are not there.

Haiku #11

In the car, as a
boy, the clouds were fed blue fumes,
I did miss you then.

Haiku #10

drying like velvet,
the bloody smear on your tum,
you fly with one leg.

Haiku #9

a thrush brushed by me,
black in the darkening dark,
it did sing, briefly.

Haiku #8

Beyond those windows
a great wall of ivy climbs,
dying in the light.

Haiku #7

and in the churchyard,
sunning themselves on the grass,
old carrier bags.

Haiku #6

I write by moonlight,
intelligible nonsense,
every word true.

Haiku #5

The weather's upset:
ice-cloud and raindrop sun drops
down into your heart.

Haiku #4

Karma cooks, slowly,
flowering in the dull yard,
pulling weeds by night.

Haiku #3

the night fell navy,
like a spilt barrel of blue
down the window pane.

Haiku #2

a seagull watched me,
I watched him from the window,
we watched each other.

Haiku #1

rain soaked my cloth pumps,
you crossed at the lights, all dry,
your cheeks painted pink.
