some tea settles my stomach
the river breeze stumbles through the ship belly
i stare at silver streaks of light
reflections of a landscape
i can't see but i know it surrounds me

a mapped-out surface
green-eyed blue struggle smile
arms circle goodbye

-Kim

-Hannah

the dog days of summer
pant
crawl
belly-down on
parched, sandy dirt

the yellow-green of trees
too bright, threatening
a cloudless sky
drowns us

empty morning streets
as though this city were
a small, sleepy town
all at church on Sunday

-Kim

Heat Wave

haiku for a hard week

not happy tired
just some good old-fashioned
flat-out exhaustion

'It doesn't look like much but it's going to be something.'
