a little more haiku june

and it's father's day

and i don't know what to do

i'm not proud of that.

. . . [6/18/23]

. . .

a warm drink goes down

does it really calm the nerves

it just feels so nice

. . . [6/18/23]

. . .

am i sick or not

am i just needing a break

just like all of us

. . . [6/19/23]

. . .

maybe not like you

maybe you feel fine and good

and you took your break

. . . [6/19/23]

. . .

we'll go see family

next week we'll go see and help

reunion sort of

. . . [6/19/23]

. . .

good bye to a home

fortyeight years is enough

a lot of life lived

. . . [6/19/23]

. . .

i don't want to go

she says to herself daily

it is not helpful

. . . [6/20/23]

. . .

dogs wake the day here

because they're not ours it's sweet

others will walk them

. . . [6/20/23]

. . .

but how do i feel

what is really going on

coming up with drive

. . . [6/20/23]

. . .

news of a robot

no, does not make my heart sing

it makes me sadder

. . . [6/20/23]

. . .

he'll be going soon

we are preparing for that

he says he's ready

. . . [6/21/23]

. . .

i haven't called yet

my aversion to the phone

does not help at all

. . . [6/21/23]

. . .

i'ts gonna be strange

he's been here for a long time

i don't know him well

. . . [6/21/23]

. . .

just like all of us

we all make changes throughout

'don't know much of his

. . . [6/21/23]

. . .

i am far away

and we don't try very hard

but there is still love

. . . [6/21/23]

. . .

i want to use it

i want to use it to run

not a good impulse

. . . [6/21/23]

. . .

i worked past anger

i worked past resentment too

let him be human

. . . [6/21/23]

. . .

to actively think

of him being gone is wild

his asking us to

. . . [6/21/23]

. . .

we'll throw stuff away

and we'll pick what we each want

while he sits upstairs

. . . [6/21/23]

. . .

what's it like for you

i hear you're at peace with it

breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe

. . . [6/21/23]

. . .

we talked yesterday

it was nice as usual

but about end too

. . . [6/22/23]

. . .

be open and sit

try not to rush, just listen

just sit, be open

. . . [6/22/23]

i try and not try

i think i'm tired by both

want a different way

. . . [6/22/23]

. . .

today is friday

i would have liked it sooner

oh yay! it is here

. . . [6/23/23]

. . .

friday is today

perhaps i am too happy

why did we do this

. . . [6/23/23]

. . .

yes, it is friday

but the day must still be done

looking to fri-night

. . . [6/23/23]

. . .

feeling pretty good

a day of work is ahead

this is a friday

. . . [6/23/23]

. . .

we've set ourselves up

we must work to free ourselves

try a bit harder

. . . [6/23/23]

. . .

let's all just get up

let's get up and walk out now

they hook us with kids

. . . [6/23/23]

. . .

if you could just go

if you could go there right now

where would you go

. . . [6/23/23]

. . .

i hope you can go

i hope you can free yourself

pick a day and go

. . . [6/23/23]

. . .

i'm doing this day

i'm doing it best i can

just want to be calm

. . . [6/23/23]

. . .

thought to thought to thought

idea to idea

it's finding focus

. . . [6/24/23]

. . .

you're not really lost

you're coming out of a fog

and you're walking tall

. . . [6/24/23]

. . .

how are your senses

are you clear and soft and free

can you be ready

. . . [6/24/23]

. . .

we play backgammon

and i usually lose

that i forget how

. . . [6/24/23]

. . .

i'm losing right now

i can't even make a move

some would just concede

. . . [6/24/23]

. . .

we ate sausages

traditional and spicy

it's what we wanted

. . . [6/24/23]

. . .

dodgers on tv

my sweetie is by my side

this is a good day

. . . [6/24/23]

. . .

. . .

we went to the reunion and it was lovley - of course, i wanted to see everybody - i just get overwhelmed with so many people sometimes - and there's politics in family and big family events. that week seems forever ago now as i'd not returned here until today, 7/18/23! oh life. just keeps moving. we pick what we're doing and when, or so we think. enjoy -- thank you for reading! -- kory
