May 29 am
Central Park Whole Foods,
your face still tired. At Milton
your eyes sagged like plums.

Animatronic
hot tub mascots, mirrored walls,
a year for snake eyes.

happy birthday
I'm a dilettante. I start things and don't finish them. The only thing I have a consistent, high-level of interest in is my cats.
Easily enough put off course that the fact of running out of paper in my Festiva notepad left us haiku-less for a month. I also returned from the Grand Canyon with a blissful, relative quiet in my mind where all those syllables had been lurking. That's pretty much gone now.
May 28 am
Rattlesnaked dizzy,
forehead to the cool floor, wound
held below the heart.
May 28 pm
A melt of vodka
tears, I'm wrung out on your old
cure: a cool Thai heart.
-for KF
Kiki, happy early birthday.
You always took care of me.
I love you.

Coachella '08
You can't make this stuff up.
April 30 am
Pool bus capsized on

called 'Call 911.'"
April 30 pm
3 am hangar.
Malt liquor half-mustache bar
kept. Car on the moon.

break from form, chair out the window
April 23 am
All July I baked
perfect loaves, bold gifts stood in
when I could not eat.

April 23 pm
On the way home, I was thinking of this lovely moment that I was trying to syllabize into a haiku for my entire drive, and I just couldn't make it work. It was perfect exactly as it was:
The night T and I met, we were in his apartment above Bush Street, it was very late, I guess we were looking at one of his chairs. "I hate that chair," he said.
"Let's get rid of it," I said. "I'm going to throw it out the window right now."
His face lit up like a beautiful child: "Do it!," he said. "so I can always remember you as the girl who threw my chair out the window."

haiku ennui
leads to haiku hiatus.
April 14 am
Juniper campground
winged Corvettes peacock eastward,
vultures drift in wait.
April 14 pm
Either it's the wind,
or my car is about to
fucking explode. Fuck.
