we into I
our into my
translating loss

Prune Juice, #34, July 2021

keeping everything
she wrote
bread...milk...cheese

Frogpond #45:1, Winter 2022

one hand on the wheel
one hand on hers
the last drive

Feral: A Journal of Poetry and Art, #10, October 2021

slow steps
the curving path
to her grave

Failed Haiku, #68, August 2021

cemetery
in the quiet
distant traffic

Failed Haiku, #68, August 2021

before the graves
a warning sign
steep descent

Failed Haiku, #65, May 2021

keeping
the half packet of split peas
she never cooked

Failed Haiku, #66, June 2021

our first saucepan cooking for one

Failed Haiku, #70, October 2021

hospice days
outside mum’s room
we play board games

Failed Haiku, #70, October 2021

turning into the cemetery
turning down my music

Failed Haiku, #68, August 2021

two years on
sometimes still reaching
for two plates

cattails, October, 2021

the icing
she swirls color
into my life

Failed Haiku, #71, November 2021

touching
her wedding ring
on my finger

Haiku Dialogue, The Haiku Foundation, Troutswirl October 6, 2021

alone
the quiet
of shuffling socks

Echidna Tracks, #8, 2021

behind the facade
reconstruction -
widowhood

Failed Haiku, #76, March 2022

in the dirt
a heart balloon
deflating

Failed Haiku, #76, March 2022

first question
how long?
widows meet

Failed Haiku, #76, March 2022

cancer center
even the parking
limited time

Failed Haiku, #80, July 2022

You Are Here
I’m just guessing...
runestone text

The Bamboo Hut, #3, 2021

moving into care
sprawled across his bed
the paperwork

Failed Haiku, #65, May 2021

okay she’s allowed
to laugh –
the Bee Gees’ pants

Failed Haiku, #67, July 2021

change -
stagnant water
in our toddler swing

Kissing a Ghost, 2021 New Zealand Poetry Society Anthology

bank counter sign
Do not protrude...
I do once just a little bit

Failed Haiku, #67, July 2021

crowded bank
the woman with a walker
puts her foot down

Failed Haiku, #67, July 2021

refreshed
the scent of cherry blossom
handwash

Failed Haiku, #80, July 2022
