jawing on the truck
dropped by flocks that twerp you suck
self hampers the stuck

not siesta duck
pummeled by billy buck
boned muckety-muck

pedants run amok
nabbling like the woodchuck
with pluck, buck the schmuck

but tail do not tuck
or you, they punt as their puck
to hock round their ruck

A tall night-light stood
Next to the foot of the bed
They watch over us

the dark spring morning
ambulance siren screaming
hoarfrost drops flower

spring birds tap the glass
nesting grass and twigs falling
the icu bed

the lungs filled with phlegm
septic shock from pneumonia
the spring sun lifts up

1 foot in earth-bed
pipes of fluids pierce the veins
breathing the spring day

writing about spring
the jackhammer woodpecker
fingers on keyboard

empty chrysalis
cracked shell on an evergreen
the butterfly split

the snuffling dog
the wet nose bouncing on grass
reading the pee mail

to write a haiku
go to the forest and sit
do not write nothing
