speaking of haiku

slight chill in the shade
august in minnesota
hint of autumn breeze

i miss church, not God
always the gift of belief
in God, not people

people are funny...
can't do this, can't do that, but
please... be flexible

canyon of concrete
large forms bridging open air
river of car lights

pittsburgh, cleveland, rust
harrisburg, rochester, rust
toledo, more rust

son, who passes now
bring comfort, please, bring peace, warm
of divinity

will children of mine
please sleep soon, please sleep well, and
please sleep, quietly.
