haiku

by

my shoelace untied
I trip
and fall for you


the old pot
the old spoon
the child’s favorite toy


the sidewalk a glaze
I glide
I no longer stand


dramatic
full of unexpected twists
a piece of candy


the old shelf filled
books
I’ve never read


hopscotch board
on the sidewalk
my own rules to the game


religious mother
a religious child
filled with questions


on one knee
words—from his soft lips
I . . . flattered
