Deeply honored to be interviewed by Julie Kelsey, of The Haiku Foundation’s Education Committee, for “New to Haiku”, an initiative with the goal of reaching out to welcome beginning haiku poets.

papa’s old diary…
my wedding date
circled in red
train journey—
the mustard fields
take me home
headache again
viewing the moon
with the dog
lovemaking…
the scent of musk
after rain
incommunicado…
her neurons enter
a black hole
extraterrestrial
all this conversation

Outside my bedroom window, stands the royal poinciana tree. Its flaming orange blossoms have always inspired me to set up my easel. With the changing season, it stands bare, a single leaf clings to the branch, heedless of the wind and rain, fluttering, but still holding on.
I marvel at its tenacity. It reminds me of you. How you fought and held on desperately till the very end.
