now the moment’s gone
said the spider to the fly.
dreams flying away.
Haikus
trying patience
the final thirty.
a year of tribulations.
no path to tributes.
child’s eyes
you looked for glory
in the faraway places.
you were needed here.
wolf’s bane
in the cold dark night.
wolf sleeps with empty belly.
dreaming of feasting.
looking backwards
your face bright and small.
taller upon my shoulders.
where did the boy go?
frost fright
the weatherman lies
on almanac amnesty.
death by cold deceit.
