A #Haibun for Imaginary Gardens with Real Toads–Get Listed: November Edition…#poetry #haiku
Disordered Intent All those desires you deny in the daylight. The gleam of light off the handcuffs hanging from the headboard, the mutual screams in an empty house, the gnarled sheets. But how will you escape them during these lengthening nights? The lure of flesh will have its due. All your resolutions avail you not.…

An Oil Change: a flashback #haibun for #dVerse OLN
An Oil Change A Latino couple rests on the dark-gray leather couch opposite me. His thoroughly stained white painter’s pants and Sherman white sweatshirt somehow contrast and complement her matching light-gray sweat suit. An Orthodox couple with a toddler sits on burgundy cushion chairs nearby. A rhythmic pounding blends with Asian TV and a muffled…

Samhain Sorrows…a #Halloween #haibun for #dVerse…
Samhain Sorrows Why do you mock us? With your costumed attire more suitable for the bordello than for posing as one of us. While we, breaching the veil between worlds, feel again the bitter cold and ravenous hunger we knew in life. And what feast do you prepare for us, now? Children crying out, “trick…

A #Haibun on Kindness…dVerse’s Haibun Monday 10/30/17…
Soraya’s Annual I receive a call from AnaMaria. A family awaits me outside 282. I head to the office suite to meet them. Only they aren’t the family I’m expecting. I swallow, open the door and seat the three of them. Soraya’s mother holds three folded letters. The last one reads “Final Notice of Summons.”…
