in a cloudy cold night
with my eyes closed...
slowly forgetting the sound

swallowed by darkness

stretching out their first date
knowing it's their last

Going to Phoenix
I'm leaving today to go to Phoenix, AZ. I won't be back until Saturday night. Hopefully I'll be able to post while I'm there, but I'm sure that I will get some great photos!

flashing overhead - tanka
flashing overhead
with thunder from the west
counting them all,
the night we talked
until words were gone

noisy downspout

accompanies the thunder -
and the snoring

haibun (behind the old school)
Feeling like an innocent bypasser he counts days on the calendar, wondering if there's some sort of a switch, knob, secret code or hidden key that would stop or (even better) reverse time...
behind the old school -
one side of the swing chain
lays on the ground

walking alone
in the forest
at twilight-
nocturnal animals
slowly awake
