Nine Haiku
kissing just
where your eyebrow
begins
inside the snowman
a scarecrow dreaming
of frozen waterfalls
flesh so pale
accumulating snow
on polished marble
the sharpest knife
slices straight to the bottom
of rinse water
backwoods blizzard
every swirling snowflake
a wild gawking eye
four men carrying
a corpse to the river
for burning
quivering silver
the mirror’s skirt
lifted by moonlight
body of winks and whispers
twirling and twisting your hair
around a finger
looking down your dress
a jet’s passing
shadow
