memorial haiku monday

i love warm summer.
where have all the flowers gone?
there are three good things.

time to get going
resumes and rejection
advice to strangers

sunday haiku

got a bike, banjo
family and friends, summer sun
now just a real job

fresh start to this day
trip to Governor's Island
walk home from the bridge

saturday sighcoo

i bought my banjo
i'm gunna learn my banjo
and play out all day

Hypersensitive
In a fog same as a hole
Let it all get good

look children there are
four horses in your front yard
say no, say yes, say

Translated train ride
Salt water, walking, looking
Jazz at train station

hicoo thursday

dear dearest let me
make a garden for us and
talk in tomatoes

Send me to greenpoint
This saturday I will look
A home for two months

wed

9AM bike ride
afternoon kindergarten
7PM yo

Didn't even hear
Chinese warehouse casino
Work on resume

tuesday

little river to
the blues, thinking forward and
squinting to the sun

Walk out of tunnels
See friends after one year's time
Fight for what is true

monday

familiar morning

listless in ritual pattern
day goes down to night.

Train sails (lost in words)
Forty minutes, in my room
What a trip you've had

sunday

happy to be home
my own bed and a clean mind
1 month then 2 months

Talking in circles
Museum walls, train farewells
Scared to say goodbye

saturday

Cherry tree arrived
In and out of rain, quiet
Walk through city streets

wakeup one oclock.
Rain off and on no beach day.
Sad friend hope stays on.

friday

awake to wonder.
Day in and out to city.
Hot wood vIII.

Wake up in new home
Plastic walls, ignore my words
Listen carefully

thursday

nod nod kiss kiss hi
thunder like rocks in a can
wander throughout life

Never trust the doubt
Shut it out, listen closely
Old friends, new places

wed

raining day off done
wasted time is not wasted,
poems for the night time.

Feverish, frantic
Decide here, now! Run to queens
On on on on on.

tuesday

when i woke up all
i wanted was to sit by
my window, write poems

it started today
stone by stone, new book, good friend
be here, present now

monday

ev'ry day:on, ON!
opening doors, pulling strings
Make it all gravy


misty morning fog,
talking is good for something,
feel moving forward.

sunday haiku

it's raining so hard
in the car we are moving
day with art and stares

The mind simplified
It is a terrible waste
Memory so strong

saturday

sedentary Sat.
application paper house.
tefl:: go places babe

write, re-write, discard
pretend we're entrepreneurs
so glad you came back

friday haiku

looks like it might rain

sunset 8:04 PM

up hills both ways home

they're engaged, oh my!
i bike and beat the rain home
cook/bake for family

so much traffic: tense!
nineteen tries yet not quite there
harmonica plays

thurs

No more flakiness
Its all or nothing- extremes
Need intensity

day with art ideas and
text message to outside world
my watch comes home (yah!)

wednesday sighcoo

wasp buzzes round me
weed out garden, get ready
then go stretch out spine

now your mouth cries wolf
the closeness of truth, of trust
won't you come see me?

still stings time to time
but, the hope, the desire to
be the change you want

tuesday

use calm voice with kids
long ride home rt. 22
come curl up baby

Missing you my dear
Better when you're near crazy
Fever pitch brain-drain

monday

the days are warmer
my pink skin is coming off
long bike ride by farms

Find a place, a space
Don't look back, don't hesitate
Its now or never

sunday

finished making books
spending money i don't have
don't make excuses

missing my dear friends
let's work toward better futures
be here with me now

even if it can't
will we ever have the chance
to be who we are?

blah blah blah blah blah
shhh shh shh be more quiet
its time to listen

it is time to wait
or is the time to act now?
make a decision


driving around roads
bathe buddha on his birthday
love to mother, mom

saturday

lost in rush of thoughts
walk in rain with a wool scarf
save little orange efts

Eleven hours
Five month's mess, look for temp space
Blonde on blonde on blonde

fryday

Squint through blinding light
I'm wide awake, its morning
Focus on 3 goals

lost papa's watch
repeat: i lost papa's watch
bring back good fortune

Kept goals in mind but
More urgent to act than think
Don't act dumb, but ACT!!!

hicoo thursday

behind yet again
so po', can't afford the -or
well, how does he dance?

shop til you drop girl!
draw in draw out, you and me
span-time! in a chair

mid week haiku

hold out for something.
fold paper, cut paper, sew.
edition of ten.

after ten year's gap
so much more to say, so good
you're not second-rate

at noon two phonecalls
on break, between raindrops
your voice (wash away)

wednesday haiku

we all dream at night
can you please be quiet, please?
let's take a trip out

When I think of it
Endless possibilities
I still feel the same

monday

wake up hopeful light
aching joints, inside legs burn
long day in forth grade

Another week comes
You may shrug me off but I'll
Wait til you're ready

sunday haiku

kayak down great swamp
lunch, art, talk, like good old days
my worst sun burn, ouch

Sunl shines through bridge planks
Ducks, paddles, navigate swamp
Work like we used to
