Haiku 17

The blind man passes
A perfumed woman in heels
Humming Midnight Sun.

The Cats / Haiku 12-16

My door stays open,
The neighbor's cats are welcome.
One sleeps on my bed,

Another one looks
Through my window at his home
Across the courtyard.

They show interest
In my bag, my books, my shoes.
They lie on their backs.

I build simple toys
With tape rolls and some thick string.
They don't want to leave.

The neighbor once asked:
"They like you! Do you feed them?"
I said: "No, we play."

Haiku 11

A bruise on my knee.
If I walk slowly enough,
Will I fall again?

Haiku 10

Morning solitude,
Just a fleeting coral sky
And my thoughts of you.

Haiku 9

On a summer day
Inside a Venetian church
I heard real silence.

Haiku 8

A snail on each palm,
I make a leaf bridge for them,
They slowly eat it.

The Goodbye / Haiku 5-7

pour ma soeur...

Toulouse is gone now.
Céleste put him in my arms,
His body softened,

Lulled by our voices.
My warm breath on his white neck
One very last time.

We smoked on the couch
And listened to Debussy.
Bright room, quiet tears.

A song I sang for Toulouse: Meadowlarks (Fleet Foxes)

Haiku 4

Jumping grasshoppers
Encircled my bicycle.
My phobia rose up.

Haiku 3

I hug the same tree
Hoping it remembers me
From the past season.

Haiku 2

I found a small frog.
The blonde little girl sees it
And takes it from me!

Haiku 1

The new books arrived
They smell of an old suitcase
I used to hide in.
