some haiku

the show is over

the ducks will swim through the troughs

his worn face and head


guy de maupassant

beloved schlumpy barry

he takes his mask off


a skull and a finch

st jerome contemplating

memento mori


ruth takes the scalpel

excises the moldy spot

gabriel’s forehead


to walter’s jewelers

watches with dead batteries

like father like son


vienna plus roars

spitting mud into a mug

is it sweet enough?


eliav’s secret

jungles in colombia

please don’t spill the beans!


HAIM! MA? BREAKFAST!

he won’t wear his hearing aids

the feedback squeals


placing the pillows

exactly as i found them,

as i photographed


scoop it off the skin

slurping the fruits of charon

gooey persimmons


dance Mayim for us

exalt the water barry

raise your arms and dance


eye of the bagel

watches from beside the lamp

glass sesame seeds


eleven ducks swim

saba smiles in the sun

are their feet cold
