My third week's responses to the #30DaysOfHaikuChallenge (see week one for details).
15 thoughts while cooking
Old desert healing:
red chile pods, ground fine, pure,
like artists' pigments.
childhood smells linger:
simmering meat, chopped garlic,
taco spices, joy
16 pets
little turtles kept
once, terribly fragile in
their stony green shells
17 front yard view
Chartreuse living room:
the hundred-and-two-year-old
artist's, our neighbor.
Blissful ravishment
of poppies, liquid sunbeams
pooled in every one.
18 back yard view
two ducks follow a
stooped old man with walking sticks:
jubilant parade
19 thoughts while cleaning
Dustcloth in hand, I'm
taking time for things I love.
Candlestick, shell, drum.
20 trees
morning rain blesses
every thirsty needle of
the Monterey pine
21 morning breakfast
apricot preserves
evoke the old tree shading
my childhood bedroom
Moroccan fried eggs
behind the big museum
one year in New York
