Haiku-a-day
Tiny carved flowers on a centuries' old yellow wall in Mantua Italy.

The gentlest flowers,
not separate from the air —
but made out of air.

Haiku-a-day
A view looking up of the dome inside the Rotonda di San Lorenzo, Mantua, Italy.

I thought this was home,
the morning light in my arms,
I wake and it’s gone.

Haiku-a-day
An astronomical clock on the Torre dell'Orologi, Mantua, Italy.

In my dream there was
a bellpull that rang the sun —
days like petals, pealed.

Haiku-a-day
A view looking up inside the Mantua Cathedral (Cattedrale di San Pietro).

Stories come undone —
unwinding in rolling domes,
prayers shook loose, lost.

Haiku-a-day
An outdoor statue of a Muse with wings staring blankly at the Palazzo Te in Mantua, Italy.

As afraid as me —
coyotes outside my door,
sneaking up at dawn.

Haiku-a-day
An outdoor statue of a Muse looking off to the side at the Palazzo Te in Mantua, Italy.

Just out of my reach
there’s a perfect thing blooming
full of all graces.

Haiku-a-day
An outdoor statue of a Muse with her eyes covered with fabric at the Palazzo Te in Mantua, Italy.

My garden is gone,
I still tend it in my mind
under sun and moon.

Haiku-a-day
An ourdoor statue of a woman holding a book under blue sky at the Palazzo Te in Mantua, Italy.

A quiet dismay,
the how and why escapes me —
I wait, I wait, I...

Haiku-a-day
A statue of a woman outside at the Palazzo Te in Mantua, Italy.

An ear to the past,
an eye to the blue-skied day —
I keep my secrets.
