Pen drawn across watery paper
Forests branch, fields bloom in a stroke
A slip of the bottle
The black slick covers my hands

This space is where I play with American-style haiku, emphasizing ephemeral moments and sensations, but following the rhythm and structure of English, rather than the traditional Japanese.
