5 Haikus She smiles red lipstick Man looks over his shoulder Curves on top of curves Her shaven black beard Slim thighs cradling my stare No milk in the crib You, you beautiful Maganda Ka, maganda Dandruff on my lap Stroking her brown hair Pink, wet tongue licking my ear Her soft, wagging tail Scrambled eggs and toast The yellow drips into brown Falling straight, a plane Copyright 2004 Jeff Raheb
