Favorite haibun of the Winter-Spring 2019 issue:

Prepositions

When making up a secret language of nouns and verbs easy to draw like little pictures of all only necessary things there nevertheless comes a time when you may want to express certain abstract notions of relationship.

bindweed clinging [to] preconceptions

A preposition I tell my nine-year-old daughter is a connection word that completes a circle of thought though she looks at me by me through me and wrinkles her nose.

sparrows feeding [on] my mind

Pronouns may be dealt with another day articles too but the question is how do you draw a figment of imagination as in away and before who can say what about that she’s gone and come back from her make-believe country with an iconography of liaisons to play with and for and because of.

squirrel chasing [after] my own heart
