Mu

My mind’s blank again;

the mirror reflects the room:

Another Haiku!

Repetition

I am tired today,

as I am most days these days.

I’m caught in a loop.

Each Moment’s a Moment

Darkness is a balm

with early morning’s silence.

A cat prowls the room.

Romantic Clap-Trap

The bees are dying—

Beauty and Truth of Nature?

Who can save us now?

Inattentive

Chopping bell peppers,

I slice my left thumb deeply;

blood splats on the floor.

One Shot

Bourbon’s no answer,

yet, our day begs the question—

Where else could I be?

(October 18, 2019)

inclement

My classroom is hot;

my students droop on their desks

like fruit left to rot.
