cats are black watch out
we do get superstitious
Friday by number


it’s a pastel day
brushed colors as if painted
by the art-maker


it’s not that haiku are easier except physically to type; while sometimes impulsive, the content often takes as long if not longer than to set down more; I have a friend who says that of Mark, the gospel thought written first because it’s short; my friend (with a related PhD) realizes, as I understand from teaching composition, that writing down is harder than writing out

not that I command haiku (goodness, no); I simply try and learn and try

I’m still struggling for breath—yes, the process for inspiration, I suppose—but I mean literally; someday I’ll be living somewhere else with clearer air to get back some health, while the ongoing issues are the main ones that have to be ongoing (heart disease and such)

I hope each of you is well

thanks for your concerns expressed—and thanks to all of you always
