Lunacy

Sun showers!
out of nowhere blindsides
crafty brigands

elevator down
ovens smoke
choking smell of sulfur

ice melt takes finesse –
half-measures, refreeze
in worse configurations

dust bunny
caught under chair leg
hunter’s snare

think done for season,
false sense security lulls…
out window, snow comes

2 Haiku: smoke rings & saline

1.
the fallacy of
only hurting myself
secondhand smoke rings

2.
the saline droops out
of her eyes in two
straight lines like paint drips

More so, when one causes the other. – mh clay

When snorkeling…

When snorkeling with
threshers the cage is purely
a formality

Either way, you’re gonna get wet. – mh clay
