Bio Note: Lately I’ve been having fun writing split sequences, a new form of haiku poetry invented by Peter Jastermsky. My book The Missing Peace is just out from Velvet Dusk Publishing and available at amazon.com
Wild Thing
unreconciled
old news
the best by date
expired
my ex shows up
tightening jaw
some lost memories
don’t want to be found
on the doorstep
after the fact
trading a long glance
with the bobcat
Miles from Nowhere
long parched summer
triple digits
even the roadrunner
slows down
Mojave sand stretched
acres of wasteland
manifesting the urge
to move on
to oblivion
good omen
high over the car
white pelicans
