Yes, 2023?

[sasha]

dear internet
you offer truth and falsehoods
let’s turn up the calm

outrage porn
left wing or right wing
all the same

[judih]

slow lick of the spoon
unexpected enjoyment
always a gift

[judih]

dear internet
you offer truth and falsehoods
let’s turn up the calm

outrage porn
left wing or right wing
all the same

factory of fear
grinding out soundbytes
mind-control prison

[judih]

saturday's forecast:
heat wave, sandstorms, thunderstorms
more time for coffee

[judih]

the roar of the wind
pummeling dried tree berries -
morning walk or not?

[judih]

always a surprise
opened arms ready for hugs
work like a magnet

[judih]

low rumbling voice
baby's first words
"no mère, no garlic"

[judih]

tip-toeing through halls
little kids with lanterns
try to find their way

[judih]

after the dust storms
planes back in their hangars
the gift of quiet

[judih]

summer adjustment
how hot after 8 am?
haiku melt in brain

[judih]

lounging in sleep
morning shows up
patient till dream's end

[judih]

new baby alert
grandson slides into earth time
instant oak

[judih]

as days pass
the birdsong grows sweeter
human posing worse

[judih]

diner coffee
sugar pack choice, shake and tear
stirring thoughtfully

[judih]

within dreams
thoughts swim with dolphins
beautifully fluid
