Living Senryu Anthology - Rehling, Mike

a fly
lands on my crotch
hell i wasnt using it anyway

five below zero
my neighbor
covers his virgin mary

satellite internet
encrypting a text
to my wife

sleep walking
i trip over
five hundred sheep

bitter cold
the high quick steps
of the dog

simplicity
i need so many words
to explain it

it…
the gravity of pronouns
always brings me down

photoshop
i add the day moon
to my selfie

in the mind
of someone else
a version of me

pulling
the twilight around me
turning seventy

waxing zen
i mention that we are all one
the room empties

looking
out the window
the window looks at me

filling the barrel with my thoughts spring rain

breakfast kiss
sharing the egg white
on our tongues

in my kitchen
the tea kettle whistles
to Bach

origami
three folds ago . . .
is when I blew it!
