I took a road trio out to California this last week. I wrote a bunch of Haiku on the trip.

ditches filled with green
farmers waiting to harvest
low clouds over corn
-------

Small black silhouettes
standing in yellow pastures
wilting sunflowers
-------

large silver silos
waiting to be filled with grain
standing in clusters
-------
rolling plains around
adorned dreadlocks with wood beads
tell me where I'm at
------

yellow grasses sway
same roosters different sky line
with horses yelling
-------

head stones among sage
famous dead outlaws lie lost
what a view from here
------

bushes that look like buffalo
shadows of shadows
a land filled with ghost
( not a 5-7-5, but I like it.)
------

black sky and black ground
my eyes see no difference
Arizona sleep
-------

fighting in the dark
white and red battle it out
Hello Sir Helgi
------

palm fronds on hot wind
sushi served on white platters
Santa Monica
------

on top of a hill
stone blocks and trees stands Getty
many eyes looking
------

awake before Dawn
I am surprised to be cold
at Great Western War
------

clanking of bottles
I sit thinking of haiku
last nights reverie
-----

next to a shit truck
I'm pondering yesterday
trying to let go
------

Owls in the night
what are they talking about
hopefully good things
------

many miles seen
watching our shadow fly by
desert to grassland.
-------

The whole trip is now memory.
