last autumn’s maple leaves

by the cyclone fence—

bare branches now full

with the song of many birds

arctic blast day two

agoraphobia mixed

with cabin fever

I take out the trash

& look up to see the moon

seems full but it’s not

halfway thru winter

the young man across the hall

lets his front door slam

and this March

is a prisoner

war madness —

in the gardens

only ashes

u vrtovima

samo pepeo

Spring

on a meadow

of my childhood —

a bouquet of daisies

for mom

buket tratinčica

za mamu

A firefly with its light..

Very often get the address

To send a letter to my inertia.

staring at the moon

trying to find

your reflection

love thy enemy

the one

I married

after the parting

sunrise and sunset

in grayscale

so near

too far…

what a view, you say

I see

only you

a haiku dream

when the soul

meets itself

she wants nothing to do

with guns in her house
