A dead friend’s birthday / my phone keeps reminding me / ghost in the machine.

Twoku: Ghosts in the machine / my phone keeps reminding me / birthdays of the dead.

Threeku: Despite all my deletions / ghosts in machine remind me / of dead friends’ birthdays.

“Haikumages” are short poems (mostly haiku and senryu-style) combined with images (mostly original photographs and graphics) by Russ Murray.

Birds prepare for sleep / among the high bamboo leaves / chirping as eyes close. Cat making biscuits / on my belly, rhythmical / in a trance-like state.
