undulating june
bug larvae on morning roads
now crunch in hot sun

Milkweed spat
Tattoos inked in leaves
A skin home

Larkin said green trees
Are a kind of grief, but he
killed them to say it.

Behind dying leaves
the winter of the soul waits
I'm afraid of fall
#TheRottingHaiku

Pain blooms bright and loud
Like fall leaves aglow in death
Maybe I am too

sleepless night before the Chorus
at daybreak
we sing with the birds
