God on rainy days
like weeping at Golgotha
all water for life

it’s a lovely day
gray if dull by promising
should the heart select
two enormous birds
predators of tan and brown
over the perished
nature doesn’t judge
often the quake or flood by
our instigation
amoral nature
save that flora and fauna
anywhere might weep
participation
nature allies death with life
relents the day’s night
creative life calls
work and play quotidian
sponsor something more
progress of haiku
no more than eased scenes required
nature bears wisdom
c l couch
a kind of progress beginning with looking outside (each should stand on its own as well)

unedged day or night
all the senses for a change
amorphous aware

it’s day though so dark
taking sun and then moonlight
need new ways to see

exhale then outside to play

Our Lady has a day
Juan Diego anglo named
she gave him roses
(12 December, Our Lady of Guadalupe)
I am Christopher
bearer of Christ and walking
hundred-acre woods
your name is your name
assigned you for a reason
there is a story
c l couch
(a series, I suppose, though I think each poem stands on its own)
there are good stories [a line while drafting that I thought I’d let stay on the page]

(somehow the magic)
sun angles through glass
by the panes make frames of light
inspiring our art
