Degrees of separation haibun


In my hand is her memo telling me that she decided to leave our house. No need to re-read it, I already knew from the very beginning that it will happen. Sooner or later. But it shocked me, still. 


more unused hangers
in the wardrobe--
her scent

Beach haiku

‎1/
wave-washed sand castle--
the fading warmth of
your laughter

2/
i know, dear
you were stars last night
pebbles on the beach

3/

barefooted--
knowing why the left
deeper in the sand

Dead leaves tanka

1/
listen to goodbyes
as dead leaves off the branches
and i hear you weep
for the waves leaving the shore
or the words you cannot keep?



2/
when it was the rain
fell on the plain where
lambs are grassing
writing a poetry 'bout love
more about drifting clouds



3/
pray for rain
you whisper as we walk
across the plain
october breeze hisses
the echo from desolate moor
