Haiku 2021 Part 37, #255-61

-

 #255

Communication
words, gestures signaling our
meaning to connect

#256

You just gently grip
it, let the gravity write,
allow words to flow

#257

Anxiously waiting
tomorow's knee surgery
vicarious fear

#258

They took a string out,
folded over, fashioned fresh
new knee ligament



#259

Suspense is what kills
waiting doom, deliverance
anticipation

#260

Administered first
injection, plunging syringe
needle into soft flesh

#261

Bicycle wheels roll
crunching over dry brown leaves
autumnal commute

Many of my clients seek powerful...

I love how poetry can say so much with so few words, and so I got a couple of quickies for you today. My Dad kindly gifted me a couple of his collections of Richard Brautigan’s poetry from the 60s, “Revenge of the Lawn” and “Trout Fishing in America,” and I enjoyed their prosey and sometimes absurd lines in my youth (and now!).  The Scarlatti Tilt By Richard Brautigan “It’s very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who is learning to play the violin.” That’s what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.   In 2018, when I thought I was turning 37, it was actually my 36th birthday. I even told a friend, wrongly, how old I would be turning the next day and had to then correct myself, having done the non-complicated arithmetic. You see, my ex-wife and I were 1.5 years apart in age so starting with her birthday each December, she’d start rounding-up my age (“you’re almost 36!”) so she seemed to be only one ye...
