brushing off sand
I walk what's left of
the pine dunes
my time here passes by
like the birds overhead

Red Moon Press: A New Resonance 6, 2009
If anyone is interested, I have copies available at cost, $10 each, which includes shipping and the poetry of:
Alan Burns, Glenn G. Coats, Susan Constable, Kristen Deming, David Grayson, Andrea Grillo, Paul Hodder, Jorgen Johansson, Eve Luckring, Bob Lucky, Scott Mason, Me [h. gene murtha], Roland Packer, Michele Root-Bernstein, Jeff Stillman, Richard S. Straw, & Tony A. Thompson.
If anyone happens to be a The Heron's Nest fan, I am pleased to tell you that of the 15 haiku of mine that were selected for NR6, 11 haiku were originally published at the Nest 2002 through 2008.
If you are interested, email me "h g murtha @ gmail . com" No Spaces. I do accept PayPal, cash or check, and I will send you the information.
I think that I can count on one finger the number of times that Jim Kacian did not attend the same Haiku Society of America meeting that I have, so, I will not be packing copies of NR6 to any upcoming events. Hey, Jim has a business to run. . .so, I am sure that everyone understands.
Always,
Gene

recent tanka
my finger
traces the edge
of her lips
around the curve
a new adventrure
Tanka Splender Award 2008
Take Five, tanka anthology ed. M. Kei, 2009 Met Press
just as
I pull myself from
gutter to curb
all things dear to me
can be found in a swamp
the sound
of a broken bottle swept
across asphalt
like the cry of a child
you have given away
for Katherine Cudney
Ribbons vol. 4:3, 2008
drunk
lying in my
own piss--
from the bedroom
my son's voice
Ribbons vol.4:4, 2008
people change
like the color
of a bunting
I feel at peace
when I'm alone
Sunday morning
reading the obituaries
calling daddy
the same name
Sylvia Plath does
sober
she asks me to
come home
I pierce a badger's claw
then hang it from my ear
