In the choir loft
Sandwiches and coffee grabbed
Heav’n and nature sing

ii.
Anglican church so
High it was stratospheric
Christmas Eve incense


iii.
In spite of the worst
Christmas homily ever
Jesus Christ is born

Bubba taps landfill methane.
Steaks taste recycled.

Old love letters
Read quickly
and thrown out
From The Haiku Year (1998) p69
Environmental my ass
full of false claims
I'll compost your ads

Tuileries Garden-Jardin Des Tuileries


























A lonely chair sits
In the Paris winter chill
Ouch my cold butt cheeks

A glimpse of beauty,
As I pass him standing there.
Snapshot of the mind.

Public, happy smile.
Meet and greet and then it's done.

Every year I feel the same
A familiar friend

Many Mormons with
Luggage; their smiles were like soft
Moth wings on my face

rotting before they ripen

Mondays. Is there a
more cruel concept in the world?
Not enough coffee.
