Selected Poems

from Huge Blue (Leaf Press, 2009)

a dream is
just that:
red
berries of the mountain ash
the koi pond's melting ice

false spring—
the homeless man
comes
one more time
through the bookstore doors

first appeared in Simply Haiku, 6:4

full moon
over thunderheads—
my arms
too small to measure
this endless prairie sky

first appeared in Simply Haiku, 6:4

becoming mulch
these leaning walls
of hay . . .
horse bones scattered
in summer grass

first appeared in Modern English Tanka, Iss. 11

one breath—
the tide rises,
falls,
carries the bull kelp
out to sea
