Orderly teaspoons

Teaspoons lined up

ordered

in their drawer

As feelings

ideally

should be

Pillows are puffed

we’ve had enough

Syringes and dishes

pathologically clean

An empty chair

where you could

have been

Bookstore Bliss

Special staying there

beside you that day

at bookstore cafè

surrounded by words

we surrended ours

so sitting for hours

in that sacred space

and saying nothing

was reassuring

as shy strangers

seated side by side

safely in silence

can only ever savour

Mobile Masses

So much depends

upon

the WiFi

access

pulsing in its

power

around the mobile

masses

Homage to William C. Williams’s “The The Red Wheelbarrow”

Change haiku

Change takes some squirming

Just ask the snake shedding skin

One just must begin
