100 di questi giorni

Hunger
Haiku are poems
for people who have a fast
metabolism.
Noise 3
Orchestra of yawns
tuning up every morning
in my husband's mouth.
Noise 2
The shower that drips
on and on is my headache-
persistent drum beat.

Noise
The fly that buzzes
round the room is my headache-
alive and throbbing.

How not to cry
Think of the black tracks
that your mascara will make
on your pristine cheeks.
How to drink a cappucino
Stir in the sugar
with care, without breaking
the frothy cocoa heart.
How to sleep well
Eat a banana
and read from a book of poems
just before bed.

Writing haiku on the way home
Counting syllables
on the steering wheel- fingers
tapping unseen words.
Season of mists
All the colours gone
except a wall of red vine
leaves, huge hands waving.
Lost:
One husband, last seen
with new mobile phone and small
book of instructions.

Raindrops keep falling on the radio
"I'm never gonna
stop the rain by complaining-
because I'm free..."

Morning music
The bathroom door swings.
The wire hanger on its hook
quivers, jangles, sings.
Rain on Friday
Rain savvy student
hair wrapped in a plastic bag-
a Tesco turban.
Thursday, 10pm, M1
No satellite found
to navigate through the night but
I don't lose my way.
Rain on Wednesday
Stepping off the train
through a shimmering curtain
strung with beads of rain.
