Haiku

***

is it possible

to fall further in love with

the memory of you?

***

through the cracks

time moves on

marking seasons

***

hot, fresh tears

warm my cheeks –

my grief liquified

***

stumbling upon words

that turn into poems –

my life

***

your clothes hang

in my closet, still –

your scent my company

***

riding out turbulence–

Pachabel in my ear,

seat belt buckled

***

flying through the time zones–

I gain extra hours 

of daylight

***

nearly every 

shining moment of my life

involves you

***

autumn --

when I miss Michigan

the most

***

lying on the hill

grass tickling the length of me --

relishing green days
