Haiku (smoothed over)

I planted kisses . . .
After tears my gift watered,
. . . Flowers for flower.

Haiku ( snowed )

She and I grew old . . .
We kept vigil in great vales,
Green mountains turned white.

Frogs moaning, owls cry,
Trout snaps, humming bees, birdlings—
Valley morning song.

In the noonday heat . . .
We open blinds, light water,
. . . My turn soaping her.

We can't make life start . . .
Save two beings joined in love,
. . . Nor stop life ending.
