Mid-Winter
haibun

     When I stopped to visit "an old guy" downtown, he immediately offered a mug of strong 
mid-morning coffee and maybe some toast. . .
     "Ya wantsumtoast wit th' coffee?"  he promptly asked, but not waiting for an answer, he
rambled on:  "It's th' crumbs meltin' in yer mouth that kin make yer day, ya know.  Let's see,
how old are you ennyways?"
     Thinking this a very odd question, I answered back, though, as requested.  I told him my
age.
     "Nope,"  he said empahtically.  Only old folks an' little squirts benefit best from toast.  I
'spectfully decline th' offer.  Course, if ya keep t' comin' back t' visit. . .maybe inna coupla 
more years. . ."
     Automatically, I smiled and wide, and he smiled wider while pointing a forefinger directly
toward his kitchen window - and we saw -

                                                                                                                           the wild apple tree
                                                                                                                           begin to flower out
                                                                                                                           with clumps of new snow

full moon    half moon
one-line haiku sequence by Pamela A. Babusci



water essence of life    needing you

white calla lilies against the virgin wall across my breasts

windswept blossoms across our flesh    hurricane kisses

cool petals    warm skin

tides roll in    roll out    chasing you

your river runs down my canyon

full moon    half moon    tides of the heart

lily shadows remembering your words last night

daydreams    your face your hands    haunt me    consume me

tangerine

of segments

forms & poems

small and golden

separate and yet

so much a part of each other

[comment from ai li: copyright ai li 2002]

tangerine

ever     
            
in the process of becoming . . .
