Crumbs & Constellations: A Haiku Story self-published April 20, 2025

cluster of crows
rising and falling above the treeline
a dance of omens

coffee bean clusters
growing in the california sun
soon, a better season

embers rise from this
dying fire to meet a roaring
quickening dawn

ribbon of bright light
the struggle and spreading of
this hopeful spring dawn

star shaped crackers
my son's mouth full of
crumbling constellations

spiralling, rising
blossoms on a resurrected
breeze
