silently waiting

still sepulchres from Egypt

the cats are hungry

I brought you back home

so you could quit cold turkey

and we could hold hands

To Tom 2

I tried to run

when i got the call but the cord

stopped me and i heard

to Tom

thought we would be close
again sooner or later
but now you are gone

 

Frog

Furu ike ya
kawazu tobikomu
mizu no oto

-Basho 

Pond glass-like and still

a frog lumbers over and

interrupts quiet.

one haiku after a long week

i am too sad
to find haikus out of nothing
wordpress days over?

Haiku by Jack Kerouac

Early morning yellow
flowers,

thinking
about

the
drunkards of Mexico.

(Jack
Kerouac)

Toscana

ran quickly downhill

on  Monsumano alto

walked uphill slowly

people at the St. Maria de Novello

woman in creme scarf

jute wedge sandals and black tank

big black sunglasses

 

the gypsy blessing

for one euro a cross sign

and good energy

 

boys with soccer ball

hang outside at each station

play in the train car

 

ah..per favore

nui puo ayutare?

grazie mille

 

family unites

girl in long dress -her brother

hugs her for so long

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

haiku at the vatican

Il Vaticano
has a gold globe on its lawn
ah..Galileo
