Winter Haiku

after the storm
pearl city, snow
smitten by apricot gold


tin night air
corner brick restaurant
burning windows


heart of January:
soaring cello
probes the sky


susurration of snow
lilac shell light
the foghorn’s cry


under streetlamps
swarms of bee shadows:
flying snow


rich movie details
as the fairy tale flakes
glitter down

ofalonecrow


adrift
in the snow globe
of the city


deep freeze
the snow speaking
underfoot


frigid indigo night:
hot bath:
reincarnation


Moon looking upon
frozen streets
rolls her eye


imagining a bird’s
heartbeat on this
crystalline night


Orion pulls the moon
through the star sea
fuming smoke


frozen embraces
carved in dark glitter
haunted passageways


cat dusk
white temples of snow
in the violet cold


melting houses
write the libretto for
a winter’s tale


pre-dawn indigo
squirrels thread
tapestry trees
