Heslington Haiku
More fur and feather than usual
Sinus congestion
Never knew I needed scent
Then they broke laundry
~
Feline companions
Observed from my penthouse peak
In odd harmony
~
It's just a dirt track
That feels like a fairytale
Tangible magic
~
Quivering rabbits
Scattered leaf-dense on the lawn
Lit by greenhouse glow
~
What is this green sludge?
I ask the fowl everywhere
They keep their cards close
~
Saw him only once
Gave magic I couldn't use
Longest beloved
~
Demanding my touch
You came bounding from behind
Wee hour familiar
~
After months of mud
The crisp, steely clench of frost
Means sanctuary
~
Brittle leaf shards freeze,
Melt, are ground to black and gold
Scent of living death
~
Air caught in my throat
Tries to petrify it; softens
At length, hope returns
