haikus for a breezy day


i.
the leaves said to me,
"you should get out more often."
but i'm so lazy.

ii.
pausing for some time.
i can hear the minute hand
hissing at my back.

iii.
thinking about you
even after all these years
these feelings remain.

iv.
annoying headache
too much sleep or not enough
blame it on the muse.

mai sharona.
december 5, 1984.
davis, california.
a sucker for flowers.
