Haiku
by Tea Towel

Why am I thus named?
I wipe not high tea spills
But lowly dishes

The look Josie gave me—half-lidded eyes, jaw twitching, skin patchy red— #disarmed me. If she hated me this much now, we’d never make it to our first anniversary. Darn. So promising, that week we dated before our drunken Vegas impulse. I sighed. Time to sharpen the axe already. #vss365

Rosy morning sky
Icy branches drip, drip, drip
Robins dart for worms

A hush, and curtain.
Then actors, like thirsty #oaks,
Drink applause like rain

Actually, I think he stuck his head out and said, “Seriously? The weather is what you’re phucking worried about?”

The calming tea I drink to calm my anxiety gives me anxiety when I drink it because it reminds me of why I drink calming tea.

sudden winter #fog
screens white snow, brown earth, gray sky

If I told you my #friend worked with lice,
would you shiver and say nothing nice?
Or say without ice,
“Not to nitpick or splice,
but they all look like small blobs of rice.”

She grabbed the inadequate hotel #umbrella. Rain slicked down the streets and skyscraper towers, washing away the dust and turning it all into a cyberpunk vision of the future that shoulda been, maybe even briefly was, before it all got locked to stop the peaceful terrorist protests. #vss365 #sff

“Do pussyfoot here, through the aciculate eglantine, and use the baldachins provided.”
“Sorry, what?”
“Good lord, education these days. I said, tiptoe through the thorny sweetbriar here, and use the #umbrellas provided.”
“I got all that. But isn’t a baldachin more of an awning?”

My favorite! He rubbed his money-swollen hands together. An #empty suit to run some part of the government neither one of us understands. #vssdaily

on pins and needles
conjuring visions of yes
as slush pile congeals

love

we try to #conjure
with an app’s allure

swipe left, swipe right,
to find something sure

but love is not pixels,
it's not neat or pure.

love is the mess, the ache,
the pain, and the cure

Terrible pain he #conjured, burning stabbing flickering pain, constant as stars. She wished for sweet nothingness, but could not speak to beg him for it.

Today's trip into nature. My spirit rising like the Douglas fir trees crowned with sunlight. Saw and heard a few woodpeckers but not any owls.

The #fawn, the rabbit, and the groundhog debated lunch.

The fawn bleated, "Do be a deer and fetch me some clover."

The rabbit thumped, "I'm not your floppy-eared forest flunkey."

The groundhog chitted, "Do I look like a gopher? Last time, I did it for five bucks—but they never paid me."
