I used to want to
have kids, but no, not in this
dire economy‎

Woken | Tanka

I was up, thinking
were you ever woken by
rain, at 2 am?
then I wished I was there to
feel your arms wrapped around me

Ache | Haiku

no one told me that
aching for someone, for love
would be this painful

Cup | Haiku

who's to say my life
isn't full at twenty-nine —
to each cup its own

Cig | Haiku

you took your shirt off
on your back was half a wing
inked — like my longing

your bare chest sculpted
my eyes — hammer and chisel
a thief you welcomed

your lips hugged the cig
tasting its soul — why am I
jealous of a stick
