Things To Which Emily Listens Politely
17 December 2016
Boston Haikai 127 -- Smooth jazz
Smooth jazz at midnight,
Played over the store's PA.
"Just a jug of milk"
Dec 18 2016 -- Star Market
15 December 2016
Boston Haikai 126 -- Tree and gardener
Buried by his tree,
A gardener rests, shaded,
By an old willow.
December 15 2016 -- Mt. Auburn Cemetery
14 December 2016
Boston Haikai 125 -- Snow melt
The hope of fresh snow
Melts into sidewalk slush and
Puddles in the road
December 12 2016 -- After a night's snow
Boston Haikai 124 -- Snow at rest
Snow from the night sky
Finds a quiet place to rest
And now so should I
December 11 2016 -- Snow at 11pm
Boston Haikai 123 -- Train traffic
The train is loudest
Of all the traffic squawking
Braying on the road
December 12 2016 -- Over I-95
07 December 2016
Boston Haikai 122 -- Exhaust
I can see my breath
And exhaust from a traffic jam --
First snow of winter.
December 7 2016 -- Mass Ave
Boston Haikai 121 -- Windswept Leaves
The wind, keeping house,
Thought it wise to sweep her leaves
Onto my doorstep.
December 2016 -- At home
Boston Haikai 120 -- Hungry fog
Hungry winter fog
Gobbles tops of skyscrapers;
How tall are they now?
December 6 2016 -- Looking across the river
06 December 2016
Boston Haikai 119 -- Maple leaf dew
Maple leaf rain drop
Reflecting a lone street lamp
While no one looks on
November 24 2016 -- The sidewalk at night
Boston Haikai 118 -- Desert stars 2
Desert stars at night
Making new constellations
In the dirt with pee
Utah
Boston Haikai 117 --- Desert stars 1
Peeing on a wall
While my wife sleeps in the car
Desert stars at night
Utah
