Yes, 2023?

[judih]

jan 1st, 2023

open to something new
today, everyday
you never know

[sasha]

a fresh start
earth's ancient cycles
start anew

[judih]

this year's silence
support from new sources
as inner world turns

[judih]

re-quilted landscape
heroes from ancient legends
support my courage

[judih]

simple stance
relaxed attention
ready for good vibes

[stilltrucking]

we are like clocks struck dumb
a harsh and bitter chord that
sends it's ripple down
tomorrow's spine

I always thought
redemption was a given
I wonder if that is chick thing?
I always thought redemption was something to strive for?
but i been wrong so long
fortunately I still got the time to write

[judih]

as espresso flows
mouth to brain cells
eyes focus within

[the mingo]

sunlight
glinting off
piss

[stilltrucking]

stage four kidney blues
every time i pee
i pray a silent prayer to my silent killer

Pissin' In The Wind
We're gonna sit and grin
and tell our grandchildren

[judih]

thread from the past
passes through my needle
new sewing project

[stilltrucking]

talk the talk
swim the swim
flush me down I'll cling to the rim
Drought Percolation

rodent population explosion
mouse turds everywhere
sometimes maybe haiku not pretty

pre-kill vicissitudes
killer stalks
more pleasant i think of her to cheer me up

[judih]

wisdom from dreams
practice to smooth the edges
then more practice

[stilltrucking]

suffering wisdom
practice life
live forever

final days
finite words
even so life is worth all

Death took the husband of a neighbor of mine
on a highway with a drunk at the wheel.
She told me, ‘Keep your clean hands off the laundry I left
and don’t tell me you know how I feel.

-Bob Franke, For Real

[judih]

beloved teacher
inspiration in his smile
my power re-charged

[judih]

this thousand or that
this day or some other
choosing enjoyment
