Spring Journal

1. Rosh Chodesh Nissan, 1971, Glendale, California

Pink moon’s crescent,

Rosary’s click, her hand in mine–

“We’re only passing through”

2. Not yet Passover, April 7, 2022, Alsea, Oregon

Wild cherries tease

–-till quick, shut windows–-

“Achoo!”

3. Nearly Passover, April 7, 2022, Alsea, Oregon

Extra hour of light

comes in handy crossing borders,

sway of daffodils

*From prompt: Write haiku on themes of stranger, not a stranger, and where are now (not necessarily in that order); from Gerry Grubb's Writing From Where You Are (The Hive, Cincinnati), April 4, 2022.
