Family | A Year in Haiku

All That History,
Love and Loss, in Daily Bread
And Sunday Dinners

Five A.M. Baking,
Bread and Rolls, Like my Father
When I Was a Boy

The House is Asleep,
Now as Then, The Dreams Scented
With Warm Cinnamon

The Kitchen is Ruled
By Wooden Spoons and Wire Wisks
And Long Memory

At the End of That
Long, Softly Lit Hallway, A
Tall Westward Window

Dawn, Painted Across
The Skies and Trees and Fields
In Blues and Coral

Our Worlds, Separate
Yet Together, Start Again
And I Breathe Deeply

A Rose is Blooming
In My Mother’s Garden of
Beloved Children

As Time Burns Away
The Dross of Memory, You Shine
Brighter and Brighter

Watching Farms and Fields,
Forests and Sky Passing By
Whispering Meaning

With Fall’s First Apples
I Think of My Dad, a Fine
Country Professor

Let Others Count in
Years. I Prefer Bouquets of
Ageless Memories.

Every Autumn I
Sent Mom a bright leaf. Now She
Rises On Their Hues

Memories Rise on
A Ripe Avocado’s Scent.
