a little more haiku june
2nd to last week of june in haiku
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
