Blown Seventeen Syllables
At a Time for YOU—
Morley Cacoethes here, friends in haiku. Got five poems to lay down while I'm staying warm in the library, dig? Blessings and beatitudes to you all.
Peace,
Morley Cacoethes

Crouched on lake sand,
we smoke, watch the lightning streak
before the storm hits.

After the rain storm,
yellow sunflower petals
paint the sidewalk gold.

After the rain storm,
yellow sunflower petals
paint the sidewalk gold.
Drunk in the snow storm,
each set of passing headlights
causes me to flinch.
* * *
My thumb, my finger,
and Buddha: just enough to
untangle these leaves.

Beneath opaque clouds
in beach sand puddles, flickers
of secret movement.
