Four Autumn Haiku
1.
autumn mystery—
the way praise spills from my heart
when the first leaf falls
2.
My partner dances
not with me, but with ashes—
autumn’s first hard frost.
3.
Doors on autumn’s hut
stand ajar—dinner simmers
on an open fire.
4.
Baby’s got no shame,
but he won’t tell me his name—
this cold autumn rain.

We Strained the Honey
We strained the honey, it flows like light
On our bread’s darkness; we take a bite,
Lost in the glorious mystery
Of wilding sweetness that sets us free.
How precious to set aside our shrugs
Of unbelief and squash them like bugs!
Minds that are closed can open anew;
Eat of our bread now—we break it for you.

sand dune mystery—
someone loses one slipper
but not the other

hailing all strangers ~
mind the land*

spirit, mystery, and flesh
