Haiku Two


Sleeping ok now
Still reach for the phone on the late night drives home.
Old habits always flicker with hope.

Still not in Hawaii
Soon, no longer in Iowa.
Hearts breaking. Hearts mending
Transitions. A messy concept.
I've been brave. Can I cry now?
She's being brave. She's definitely crying.

Touch down.
Touch back.
Still point, then
Back to the endless ocean
