I’m never enough

An empty cup full of fear

Not empty enough

—D.D. #465 8.31.12

One month since my last haiku…


I am unraveled

Breasts drying up without lips

Baby thrives sans moi

—D.D. #464 8.8.12

A wise woman walks

Wild fires raise chaos

Her peace burns; steady

—D.D. #463 7/7/12

Fat Full Moon Belly

Sways into the starlit sky

Bright and wet and hot

—D.D. #462 7/6/12

I much teach my son:

There’s more in me than can show

First, I must teach me

—D.D. #461 7/5/12

Love does not take work

Yet feeding its hunger may

I choose food with care

—D.D. #460 7/4/12

I’m the sum of life

Not a heap of unstrung threads

Or list of undones.

—D.D. #459 7/3/12

Mindful and awake

I am not free of this fear

Yet it drifts, bird-like

—D.D. #458 7.2.12

Narrative effect:

Welcoming my deep waters

Is stillness, blue calm

—D.D. #457 7.1.12

For my charlatan

Whose ministrations heal me

I part the waters

—D.D. #456 6.30.12

I don’t know what’s lost

Still I try to let it go

A butterfly’s drift

—D.D. #455 6.29.12

Limited vision

Prevents clearness, compassion

Hearts open, then mend

—D.D. #454 6.28.12

Depression dictates:

Duck inside the rain and soak

Evaporate, float

—D.D. #453 6.27.12

He’s turned to face down

Readying himself for life

I shall follow him

—D.D. #452 6.26.12

Curly-hair blue eyes

Electric humor and wit

Sunlights unites us

—D.D. #451 6.25.12
