#NaHaiWriMo 2017 – day eleven

surprised by laughter

sitting around the table

the future’s weight

*

the future’s weight

sitting around the table

surprised by laughter

#NaHaiWriMo 2017 – day ten

lie back and lie still

when there don’t seem to be answers

the only thing to do

#NaHaiWriMo 2017 – day nine

gathered in stillness

there is nothing to be done

just steady breathing

*

halted conversation

unspoken demand stretches

every requirement

*

surprised by beauty

i wanted to say something

my tongue thick and slow

#NaHaiWriMo 2017 – day eight

bundled in the arms

of winter, the cold nibbles

at my fingers.

*

sitting and waiting

in the quiet hum of the car

preparing for the day.

*

the coyote stands still

startled by each other’s presence

neither willing to move

#NaHaiWriMo 2017 - day seven

if i stretch the words

across this structure, will it

still read as haiku?

*

as light fills the room

a physical pressure

the eyes heavy hands
