lopsided moon ...
eyes fixed on my wife
straddling me
FYI: This haiku could be read as a sequel and a prequel to the following ones respectively:
butterflies mating
my wife's hand made to fit
inside my palm
And
beads of sweat
between my wife's breasts
yet this impulse ...
Added:
slanted moonlight
slow, slow curving of her breast
into my dream
Added:
a box of letters
in dusty attic light
I recover
my young self once caught
in someone's love bonfire
Added:
a queue for gas
out of the blue call answered
by tree swallow song
FYI: A small and striking songbird, the tree swallow is renowned for its acrobatic flight and dazzling plumage. It features glossy, iridescent blue-green upperparts that gleam in the sunlight.
Added:
a white raven
back and forth, back and forth
distant sirens
FYI: White ravens are exceptionally rare in the wild—occurring in roughly 1 in 30,000 birds. North America's two main hotspots for these sightings include:
1 Vancouver Island, British Columbia: The coastal area around Qualicum Beach and Parksville is widely considered the unofficial "White Raven Capital".
2 Anchorage, Alaska: White ravens are occasional, viral sensations in Anchorage.
Added:
sunlit hillside
a tumbling waterfall
of scarlet
Added:
time to live
with what remains ...
blossom rain
