Much appreciation to Ayaz Daryl Nielsen for posting my haiku.

the Persian cat matches the weather camouflage in white

snowflakes crochet accessories for my hair

***************

spring knows green the buds on trees the blades of grass

***************

in a warm bed the tuxedo cat curls up into a ball

***************

the adoptive moment waits for cats in cages

Alien Buddha Zine #16, May 31, 2020

Proud to be in Alien Buddha and thanks Red Focks for publishing Sad Eyes and This Vacant House.

Pleased to share the honors with Francine Witte.

Sad Eyes

austerity plays dominoes—

one person falls, then another, and another . . .

personal shit takes precedence over charity

when the hand that feeds

can’t pay bills, buy bare necessities, is late with the rent . . .

sad eyes, the cat on 38th street, purrs by the stoop

waits for food—

eventually realizes that her feeder can’t come

today, tomorrow, or the day after . . .

the cat’s dinner,

leftover chicken à la trash—

today’s menu for tomorrow,

or the day after . . .

******************************

this vacant house

outside this vacant house roses no longer grow

at midpoint their petals fell at sunset

inside the house sadness occupies

each room expresses emptiness

broken windows can’t forget what was

pieces of ceiling fall like rose petals

blackened buds grow on damp walls

the roof cries more than ever

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another Haiku/Senryu Showcase

Alien Buddha Zine #17, 2020

Happy that Alien Buddha showcased my haiku. Thanks Red Focks. Kudos to Marie C. Lecrivain.
