haiku july

it's july now

here i sit in palatine

lovely rainy morn'

. . . [7/1/23]

. . .

people are coming

more and more people will come

then we all go home

. . . [7/1/23]

. . .

the rain'll stop soon

but for now it's nice and sweet

this quiet will end

. . . [7/1/23]

. . .

at a different house

oh, how life feels when not home

living in both planes

. . . [7/1/23]

. . .

i have open sores

on my hands, just on my hands

because i pick them

. . . [7/1/23]

. . .

i've picked for so long

sometimes i do well and don't

but i'm picking now

. . . [7/1/23]

. . .

today is the 3rd

and we will leave tomorrow

been nice to see all

. . . [7/3/23]

. . .

the quiet of now

paying attention to now

i'll sit for a now

. . . [7/3/23]

. . .

i sit here and sit

and i hear the birds outside

slight breeze, or traffic?

. . . [7/3/23]

. . .

and it keeps coming

thoughts or ideas or being

for now i'll just sit

. . . [7/3/23]

. . .

we'll go back home now

it was great to see you all

maybe a bit short

. . . [7/4/23]

. . .

or was it just right

one more day would be too tight

so we leave today

. . . [7/4/23]

. . .

he said "up your butt"

and i said "you seem just fine"

and he drank more tea

. . . [7/4/23]

. . .

we are flying now

above mountains and river

that is our planet

. . . [7/4/23]

. . .

what is all of this

i mean, really, what is it

we do all this stuff

. . . [7/4/23]

. . .

how long can it go

other extinctions have been

how long can it be

. . . [7/4/23]

. . .

my sweetie is here

we can really be us now

better and better

. . . [7/4/23]

. . .

blocked by an aisle

i could go again i could

she sleeps, so i'll wait

. . . [7/4/23]

. . .

wish i could tell you

here i am as i try to

you have to see it

. . . [7/4/23]

. . .

there's brown and there's blue

there's mountains and sand for days

and we, way up here

. . . [7/4/23]

. . .

way up in the sky

i can't really tell the where

the vast desert west

. . . [7/4/23]

. . .

organization

the towns and such start to pop

home in an hour

. . . [7/4/23]

. . .

we mean to do things

and sometimes we don't get there

we can still do it

. . . [7/5/23]

. . .

today i go back

refreshed is not quite helpful

'cause i got the taste

. . . [7/5/23]

. . .

july 6 it is

july and not over june

that's just how it goes

. . . [7/6/23]

. . .

i must change my view

would be better to focus

to focus on good

. . . [7/6/23]

. . .

we've slept, for too long

it's pretty cozy down here

now rushing a bit

. . . [7/7/23]

. . .

it is friday though

it will soon be the weekend

thank goodness for those

. . . [7/7/23]

. . .

it's not fun rushing

and lose your precious morning

better early rise

. . . [7/7/23]

. . .

it sounds pretty nice

light birds and light garbage trucks

still a sweet morning

. . . [7/7/23]

. . .

i'll sit and give time

give space to this like i'm in

and try to be calm

. . . [7/7/23]

. . .

and what will you do

you are calm, peace and quiet

and that is quite nice

. . . [7/7/23]

. . .

when i sit and breathe

that's when i really feel best

can i live from that

. . . [7/7/23]

. . .

what about polo

there are matches just right there

we've missed them for years

. . . [7/8/23]

. . .

what about painting?

you know you love doing that

how about that again

. . . [7/8/23]

. . .

the plumbing issue

at the house seems a big one

i just remembered

. . . [7/8/23]

. . .

i feel we can win

whatever that means we can

just don't forget it

. . . [7/8/23]

. . .

the movie business

is full of a bunch of shit

follow the money

. . . [7/8/23]

. . .

i left years ago

i miss some of it, not all

humans make stories

. . . [7/8/23]

. . .

so people don't work

people with money are fine

they can wait it out

. . . [7/8/23]

. . .

some people are broke

and this will break even more

not executives

. . . [7/8/23]

. . .

just cost of business

it's just how it works you see

someone else will do

. . . [7/8/23]

. . .

but back to nice things

back to air light space and time

those things are always

. . . [7/8/23]

. . .

and how about you

how will you do all of this

will you make it through

. . . [7/8/23]

. . .

. . .

from reunion to back home and a big plumbing issue and some on the wga/sag-aftra strike. life. and birds. and air light space and time ( i often come back to this in life after having read bukowski's poem "air and light and time and space" -- tis a good grounder for me) -- thanks for reading and taking it in via haiku - i love the breaking it down into "simple" terms. thank you! -- kory
