uphill thighs burn
caught in jagged breath tunnel –
eyes squint, mouth gape.

down whoosh chicory
veined pink maple keys cluster
cathedral arched boughs
Creation
Does any creation myth say
dog built a continent by girl
throwing pebble after pebble,
retrieving wolf lugging back
from the sea plunge, a lunge
of stone on flat stone until
isle is island is land is theirs
for her grandchildren?

One Deep Breath (9)
For One Deep Breath, Week 9 the theme is Gardens for haiku. A few moods and styles of haiku:
—
nature grooms herself:
brown columbine flower stalk
popped off overnight
—
tomato unhooked
from stem
breast weight in palm
—
tomato cluster
a traffic light
—
so thirsty it burst
its own skin. Grinning,
soused tomato
