Weather lurching
Back and forth like a fist fight
Good morning, migraine

Oh, Earth, these blemishes
Oh, Earth, these blemishes
Can be scrubbed dead clean,
This unseemly infection stopped,
But to no avail, all the evidence
Points to the scabs bursting open,
Life pouring out again and again
In all its musty bigness,
The anti-entropic urge
Of the womb is doomed
To eternal resurgence
It’s not rebellion – nothing so seemly,
So ordained by high principle –
Just a thing impossible to stop,
A thing in a crack,
A seam in an ocean of atoms,
An imperceptible pause
In the continuous instant,
A suddenness within chaos,
How ice forms from steam
How fire struts across the built and unbuilt alike
How two disparate things join
Into a whole, unbegotten, unbidden.
Down at the deepest level, they say,
Things pop in and pop out
On less than a whim.
Friday haiku 103
The air had an edge
Like a wind blowing over
The last of us all
Friday haiku 102
Sitting at the changing tide
Beside the ancient harbor
Waves already lapping our feet
Friday haiku 94
In this ancient light
The spirits of fisher folk
Dancing on the lake
