punky soul food

blitz-fast chords

and screams of anarchy

refresh my weary spirit

Leaving Los Angeles

grey, asphalt river

rambles onward — up ahead:

haze shrouded mountains

the antique socket set

chipped green metal case

in the bottom of the

toolbox… waiting…

old tools

the smell of old steel

brings precious memories of

my father’s workshop

untitled (18 october 2009)

the grey sky

presses down with unfulfilled

expectations

in the laundry room

under fluorescent glow:

white walls and white boxes

sanitize the mind

hummingbird

darting blossom to

blossom, the green streak pauses

to contemplate me

photo room at the museum

encircled by

photographic masterpieces…

feeling small

walking to the car,
crimson-leaf-crunch muted by
the cold autumn rain

the impromptu snapshot ritual

you stand. fake smile.

fix your hair. wait. wait.

Flash.  breath.  moving on.

Shannon’s Second Haiku

big black headphones
pipe joy into your brain–
soundlessly, you dance and sing

Shannon’s Haiku

at the desk, gaze
locked on the screen — wrapped-up
against the cold

Driving Around Sundown in Goleta

Green Day blaring in

my ears — a grey salt fog rolls in

over the sea bluffs.

spreadsheet narcosis

white squares and black text
swim in front of glazed eyes…
remember to breath…

butterfly moment

writing at my desk,

I glance up:  orange and black

wings on a blue sky

Beach Haiku

Beach Haiku

untitled (6 october 2009)

chill autumn breeze
whips through the trees;
chimes in the distance
