HAIKU BETWEEN THE EARTH AND THE STARS
by David Boyer

Haiku Between the Earth and the Stars

milk splash in coffee the weather report for Jupiter

forest at dawn when she lied like a kaleidoscope

to be as many bodies
as there are
verbs in the stars

later little moons your fingernails left in my palm

my skin stretches to meet itself over the ice caps

Five Haiku at Night

cotton candy clouds to open my fist I whisper a wish

Friday the breeze you worked so hard for asks for a separation

what happened to all those UFOs Fox News I guess

mid-autumn past midnight the train whistle won't disappear

moonrise after the visitor leaves three white petals

Half-Dream Haiku

in this adventure every gold coin breaks a tooth

sinks under the waves to point out the ruined temple

moonflowers
that look
in the eye of my double

searching for gods in the light of ice-covered trees

and woke to the hiss of rain on the unfinished tomb
