Love (Seven Haikus)

Happy Anniversary, John.


i
It’s a bad morning
I sink into red despair
Johnny starts to sing

ii
I’m always frantic
On my desk a plum tulip
He has left for me

iii
Stuck in office hell
A box delivered to me
He’s sent me chocolates

iv
Money worries me
Sour green necessity
His smile sets me free

v
Showering we dance
It’s our wet tango of souls
He is my bright rain

vi
On Valentine’s Day
It’s franks and beans and Buffy
Curled up tight in bed

vii
We are beyond word
Venetian canals and song
Spilling from above
