Fun – Page 8 – Iron Haiku

Nocturne

relaxing at last
working out in the garden
under the moonlight
–
high silver clouds
a beaver breaks
the water’s surface

my wet business shirt
translucent where it clings to
the swell of your hips
–
cloudburst
unexpectedly
caught outside

a clandestine tryst
made all the more exciting
by the recklessness
–
high desert sun
entwined eagles
fall to the earth

faded cutoff shorts
bare feet out the car window
hair teased by the wind
–
hot skin
cool sheets
and promises

peacocks at the bar
we share a sidelong glance
and a private laugh
–
two swans
together
for life

lilacs in her hair
as she lays in the grass with
clouds floating whimsy
–
escapees from
my minds eye
in the clouds

We walk the worn paths

Of an unexplored landscape

The first of many

Iridescent swirls

On the film of a bubble

Dance before bursting

Crystals born of dust
Falling from the firmament
Alight on my tongue

In a basement bar
Listening to live music
With my lovely wife
