Moon Haiku
titanium white
at last I finally see
the moon
leaf wind
this whisper
of moon
writer’s block deepening a page full of moonlight
the mayfly’s first last deeper into the mauve moon
a line of moonlight
hails a cab
inner city
the real
weight of words
moonshine
silence to silence
someone else’s moon
both
and neither
poncirus moon
stratocumulus moon
deeper into the darkness
last breath
