reading between the lives and writing between the lines, LXXXIV
this winter day
both blindingly bright
and punishingly cold
I walk out of the church
admitting I love the world more
Added:
Against the Drowning Noise
inspired by cicada-palooza!
alone again ...
in the swarm of red eyes
one blue-eyed cicada
loud, louder
and sexually aroused ...

FYI: Two cicada "broods," trillions of cicadas, are set for a rare double emergence that last occurred in 1803. And blue-eyed cicadas are often called “One in a Million,” a phrase coined by Gene Kritsky, an entomologist at Mount St. Joseph University.
And the last haiku could be read as a prequel to the following one:
waning summer
cicada's mating song
in every pore

Pacific waves
Chen-ou Eric two names meet
and part here not here
FYI: This could be read as a sequel to the following tanka:
like a bat
trying to be both bird and mouse
I waver
Eric one moment
Chen-ou the next
A Handful of Stones, March 10 2011
Added: reading between the lives and writing between the lines, LXXXV
the rise and fall
of a summer moon
I alone
on the other shore
of this promised land
