impossible
we think 17 haikus
in 17 minutes




jesus christ
marked on mt. sanitas
some bird poop




frosty cactus
and brittle grass
under each step




yucca leaves
beaded with
last nite's snow




traveling
over small patch of ground
seventeen minutes




emotions curl
like smoke
in december chill




discussing future
on sunny trail
they stare at their feet




flitting in
and out of clouds
haiku moment




startin fresh
yet again. better
fresh than dull




bandana
in frozen crumple
outside car door




touchin smooth
the water drip
this one's frozen




ambulance
amid the homeless
cold frozen morning




spacious cold air
we pause in forest
bird chirps, wind




frozen stillness -
the water in
my drinking tube




blue triangles
lead me in one direction
i know not where




my fingers numb
blurring whirr in ears
sound of sap snapping




tempest of snowballs
hurtled from tree to tree
winter wind storm
