Haiku 863, 864

From the poetry collection published in 2021 containing poems written in 2020, The Immediate and No Sooner.

Haiku 863
10/2/20

coiled measuring tape
lies like a satisfied snake
nesting in thread spools

Haiku 864
10/2/20

Two thick wires arrive
at the outlet in the basement.
I plug in my iron.
