haiku for you

new dew memory

Raindrops sprinkled on petals

Reminds of childhood

Georgia O’Keefe paints then she sleeps haiku

Georgia O’Keefe paints 

White bones and veined desert flowers

Feverish colors

I used to have a crush on the lorax once

Last California breeze blue by

I blew bubbles shaped clouds

Forgot all my dreams for

awhile buried in the rhythm 

 

Last California breeze bees flew

Buzz by Motorcycle gangs

Definition of cruisin' up

1 Pacific Coast Highway

Last California breeze

Baby bees disappointed

Only flowers roses flung 

desperately to the sea

Last California breeze memory 

Pink petals swirl, die around 

my purple painted toes spit 

take taste of saltwater tears

Last California breeze foamed faces

Ancient colored secrets in shells 

I still can’t read, lost bee

stings bottom of bare feet

Last California breeze

Ensconced in its death

saltwater washes away stinger

Can still heal me for now

Last California breeze
