haiku september two

i started a book

i started with the cover

i'm a bit backwards

. . . [9/3/23]

. . .

a monday day off

leads to a 4 day work week

then back to weekend

. . . [9/3/23]

. . .

big waves here today

wonder what's happening elsewhere

that these are so big

. . . [9/3/23]

. . .

we all sit or walk

all taking in the ocean

edge of the country

. . . [9/3/23]

. . .

a special day off

thank goodness for days off, 'eh

what are we doing

. . . [9/4/23]

. . .

thinking of you now

of how we used to be then

thinking of good stuff

. . . [9/4/23]

. . .

you in your workshop

that was your favorite place

your hole and corner

. . . [9/4/23]

. . .

always making stuff

then off to work you'd go

what else did you do

. . . [9/4/23]

. . .

i didn't get you

not for most of the middle

just the start and the end

. . . [9/4/23]

. . .

so now we all wait

but maybe that's not ok

or just weird to say

. . . [9/4/23]

. . .

no more suffering

would be nice to have some laughs

what can we get you?

. . . [9/4/23]

. . .

live like you're dying

or how you think it would be

when also ok

. . . [9/4/23]

. . .

no extra bullshit

unsubscribe to all extra

even just to start

. . . [9/4/23]

. . .

do the stuff you say

stop breaking your promises

those ones to yourself

. . . [9/4/23]

. . .

do what you plan to

don't let those things float away

they'll just make you sad

. . . [9/4/23]

. . .

you might stop walking

how will you still be you then

try to make plans now

. . . [9/4/23]

. . .

and what if no hands

how will you still be you then

be you without them

. . . [9/4/23]

. . .

and what if no words

how will you still be you then

be you anyway

. . . [9/4/23]

. . .

and what if no sight

how will you still be you then

be you as you've been

. . . [9/4/23]

. . .

and what if no sound

how will you still be you then

be you with your breath

. . . [9/4/23]

. . .

and what if no breath

how will you still be you then

then i will just be

. . . [9/4/23]

. . .

it seems to be close

but it might not be at all

so i take some breaths

. . . [9/5/23]

. . .

just needed some blood

now he's got a lot more pep

so much to it all

. . . [9/6/23]

. . .

first i sat, listened

tried to hear nature instead

instead of my thoughts

. . . [9/7/23]

. . .

thursday thoughts are these

thoughts with friday thoughts attached

best to stay present

. . . [9/7/23]

. . .

birds and trees and dogs

the sounds of morning are here

the windows open

. . . [9/7/23]

. . .

i'm aggrieved ready

i know it and i'm sorry

working on it now

. . . [9/7/23]

. . .

limited by thought

do i only have three thoughts

my self, dad, and work

. . . [9/8/23]

. . .

open up, receive

your thoughts are fine but there's more

your ruminating

[you're]

. . . [9/8/23]

. . .

what comes is what comes

but you could look somewhere else

like what's over there

. . . [9/8/23]

. . .

those roses are dead

we keep them lovingly there

dead roses are good

. . . [9/8/23]

. . .

this hat serves me well

as my long hair drives me mad

but i keep it long

. . . [9/8/23]

. . .

mug, mug, oh sweet mug

i just cannot get you clean

but i won't quit you

. . . [9/8/23]

. . .

i'll read, write and make

but not in that order, no

output before in

. . . [9/8/23]

. . .

so it's friday y'all

2 days off for some of us

i am one of them

. . . [9/8/23]

. . .

he, up already

i got up a bit later

we'll go to the beach

. . . [9/9/23]

. . .

there it is again

the horizon - the offing

i love to just look

. . . [9/9/23]

. . .

how are you today

how will you be tomorrow

how are you right now

. . . [9/9/23]

. . .

dogs are everywhere

we don't have dogs right now

we love all of yours

. . . [9/9/23]

. . .

i do not trust you

i've not trusted your motives

so it has been hard

. . . [9/9/23]

. . .

what i've kept inside

i realize has to come out

either words or breaths

. . . [9/9/23]

. . .

it might not matter

it feels like it really does

it feels like it must

. . . [9/9/23]

. . .

but, like anything

it doesn't have to mean much

nothing has to mean

. . . [9/9/23]

. . .

i've let out just some

it seems i should let out more

so here it all comes

. . . [9/9/23]

. . .

oh boy, i am scared

what if i hurt some people

i don't want to hurt

. . . [9/9/23]

. . .

it's not even real

it's all interpretation

my way or your way

. . . [9/9/23]

. . .

. . .

more than a week ag0 - i was ready to post this last week then accidentally deleted it so it they are. a lot of pondering. sitting. dad near the end or not. best to not think of it like that maybe, or something.
