can it be perfect
can it be perfectly right
that's not a real thing
. . . [6/25/23]
. . .
what if i told you
to pack you bags, we're leaving
would you really come
. . . [6/25/23]
. . .
it's a little grey
but that's not reason to not
the beach is the best
. . . [6/25/23]
. . .
eggs almonds ocean
plus some tea and my sweetie
this is pretty good
. . . [6/25/23]
. . .
good news, my sweetie
"everything is fine," he said
and i'll believe him
. . . [6/25/23]
. . .
listen, it's night time
we'll go to sleep pretty soon
that will be lovely
. . . [6/25/23]
. . .
sunday night does come
we have our thoughts about it
we must move through it
. . . [6/25/23]
. . .
reading and music
a nice way to end the day
let's go to bed now
. . . [6/25/23]
. . .
just stay open now
that's what you told me to do
the question will come
. . . [6/26/23]
. . .
maybe i've been wrong
maybe this is not quite right
be open to it
. . . [6/26/23]
. . .
the way is open
it's waiting for you right now
just turn to the right
. . . [6/26/23]
. . .
open the windows
it's finally warm enough
oh, that's much better
. . . [6/27/23]
. . .
leaving for trip soon
i'm so glad to have some time
just to have some space
. . . [6/27/23]
. . .
youngest and oldest
together all night and day
special time i bet
. . . [6/28/23]
. . .
live music right here
he sits on those steps and plays
i'm pretty lucky
. . . [6/28/23]
. . .
seems to be better
being taken care of right
next phases of life
. . . [6/29/23]
. . .
to end in sadness
sure seems a punch in the face
but he's not quite sad
. . . [6/29/23]
. . .
boarded and ready
we took off late but we go
now it's just fly time
. . . [6/29/23]
. . .
what's life gonna be
we six connected for life
different but the same
. . . [6/29/23]

and i didn't write anymore haiku in june, suprisingly. on the trip; the reunion with my family. just a couple of days i didn't or at least not where i "keep" them (where i typically write them) - maybe i'll find them. i love writing everyday, but i also like just flowing. and those last 2 days were focused on family events. i always give myself a little time in mornings. sometimes it's not doing anything- i listen to me; what's right for right me right now. i remember those 2 mornings, in the hotel instead of in "the house" -- i remember just sitting. that was nice. so that's june of 2023. thanks for reading, for taking it in! -- kory
