a sigh of relief
12x2 one-line haiku links
marlene mountain cindy tebo
mid-january a sigh of relief in the sound of it once a winter
scraping the ice the way the cold scrapes me
a total stranger at the film's beginning
pirate movie I steal a handful of popcorn
'snug as a bug in a rug' a spider unsnuggles itself across the carpet
wrapped like a mummy my son takes off into the wild, white yonder
back over the not-so-one-can-tell blacktop the plow
sort of a rut about one hoof wide
will the pregnant wife be found as a mother or as a statistic
so easy to arrange 'till death do us part'
'down in the dumps' a dumped body
asbestos removal 'no danger to the employees' who are not in the building
rampant speculation the money core of 'breaking news'
years of cuban sanctions those who starve without power
his mind made up finish daddy's war
a 'b' grade western little big man and his oily advisors
thoughts against the wrong-wing grain be mum or else
gull gray sky the power of cold mixed with politics
'dozers & a backhoe chew toward a site with a view
church of your donations expanding their parking lot
a bit of morning sun on the cactus which prefers not to bloom
remote a cc ess more ce dars than citi zens
a protest wall haiku with sharp edges in a rough court
a path y 'path of the least resistance'
