Extracts from the book:


blinded
by a glint of sunlight
from my jimmy—
the cash box opens
another day of IOUs




the lie
i almost tell
bruised ginger



Something in her eyes called Nothing

I grab my coat, take her by the arm and lead her to a metal staircase tucked around a corner in the backs. We wait in the dark . . .

face of an angel
under my dealer's hoody—
stars are made from rock

I really like the haibun... I'm thinking of buying a copy.
