ADOBE HAIKU

by Linda Malm

Dust my sandstone heart,

a hearth from ancient shorelines

stained by early dawn.

Cobwebs drift between

latilla puzzled pieces,

wind-downed aspen grove.

Ponderosa posts,

lightening twisted cedar trunk.

My roof now their crown.

Skylit straw flecked mud,

soft curves of mica twinkles.

earth shelter gloaming.

Friend's urban painting,

remembrance of harsh places

absent long vistas.

I polish the pond,

clouds, shaggy green hills, gardens ⎯

my picture window.

Blue delphinium 

petals strewn on dark tile floor.

Good housekeeper.
