Friday haiku 32 and 33

I was in the midst of travel commotion last week, and missed posting my Friday haiku, so I’m doubling up today.

North is south this year
confused,
geese stay put

In a deep corner
of my self
a patch of soil

Friday haku 7

It’s that time again. As usual, respond in kind if you wish.

Like everyone else
by the time they reach Mexico
the North Wind has forgotten its task

Paris, 15:42

Stuck.
A small desire
(coffee, maybe pastry)
A Herculean labor.
Such histrionics,
A drama worthy of greatness,
And I, jet-lagged, ordinary at best,
Blindly stabbing.

Yet, it arrives:
Mousse au chocolat
Crème brûlée
Je n’sais quoi

And coffee,
A small, unassuming demi-tasse,
Ordnance as yet
Unexploded.
