to feel another’s sorrow-
not just “thoughts and prayers”.

Spare parts and extras,
scattered from a dozen kits.
Useful potential.

Bus stops and backyards,
to swap neighborly stories,
build community.

Black gold barons fly,
like moths to an orange flame,
to kiss the gold ring.

Where are the wise ones?
Communal guidance trampled,
by privatized towns.

Resistance alights,
from the first thought, a candle,
to brighten the dark.

Haiku Sunday – Clubhouse
“Clubhouse”
Elevated bed.
Pretend castle tower, or
playhouse, or hideout.

Haiku Sunday – Walkable
“Walkable”
Self-contained living.
Neighborly hiking visits.
Communal outdoors.

Haiku Sunday – Mask
“Mask”
Combat turtlenecks,
attempt to project power,
yet reveal cowards.

Haiku Sunday – Dock
“Dock”
Footsteps echoing
all along boarded walkways,
found in safe harbor.
