Haiku #1
Moonrise bright, moonlight
Black velvet midnight gem sky
October's still night.
Haiku #2
Moon glow and rising
Creamy circles brightly dance
Rays of the still night.
Dodger blue tarp tents
Unhoused vs homelessness
Busy mornings and still nights
Owning compartments of
plastic comfort
To keep the weather elements
from a face becoming leathery at bay
The masses of Freeway Freddies
own the underpass
a concrete mattress cold and gray
Tumbleweed bodies, arid, are the
human plants that thirst for bottled water,
huddle for warmth from sun filled rays.
A thirsty Egyptian towel,
shower soap and water
as in Calgon take me away.
Dodger blue tarp tents can only
do so much to prevent a
wind blown breeze
sharp chill, arthritic depth of
the bone unseasonal winters cold
from the still night into day
and their makeshift Home Sweet Home.
