wood – Selected haiku

14 February 2021 – II

broke dad’s sander
while isolating with parents
(it’s fine, he fixed it)

finished making a
footstool last month. should have used
thinner hairpin legs.

before I return
home, borrowing dad’s router
for lithograph frames

seizing this warm day:
applying polyure-
-thane in my parents’ garage

chevron halves meet off
center, a choice, but it looks
unintentional

To celebrate the first day of summer, here is a haiku about my parents’ basement.

recycling parts of
Box Mountain: not mountaintop
removal, better.

Actual mountaintop removal is horrible!
