Friday haiku 88

All night rain
the mole carefully digs
around the trap

Riga, my Riga

In the antique shop
on the ground floor
of the building
where my parents lived
the year they married
I thought I heard someone
call my name
as if I lived there
too, so long before
my birth in the camp.

Friday haiku 87

This little sprinkle
will never douse
the fire of summer

A minor quartet

The Art of Dreaming I
1. Close your eyes
2. Remember

The Art of Dreaming II
1. Trust your eyes
2. Surrender

The Art of Dreaming III
1. Damn your eyes
2. Carry on

The Art of Dreaming IV
1. Open your eyes
2. Forgive

Friday haiku 86

The spring wind sputters,
too tired to raise a ruckus,
bored already.
