• la jolla nightclub (haiku)

  La Jolla, you in
  your stillettos- upturned nose-
  hazy your motives

  holds promise despite –
  in spite, the waves Pacific
  still wash the beach clean.

• box of magic (haiku)

  black plastic conceals
  a red silk scarf… say IT loud —
  poof, it disappears!

  [i had a toy when i was young that taught you magic…. i just remembered it tonight for some reason]

  Bobbing quiet in a
  Melted crayon sea I am
  Floating far away.

• phish (haiku)

  went to my first Phish show (only about 15 years late). a beautiful night –

  pyre of sound to
  moon witness colors shine that
  green music alive!

  community speaks:
  “second set sparkle! will you
  be here tomorrow?”

• I Run to the Memorial (haiku)

  along water, bricks
  line a path until, whispers
  hello soldiers gone.

  [running to the Korean war memorial in Canton, MD]
