HAIKU TRIPTYCH: PORTLAND<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First Date<\/strong><\/p>\n

scruffy tattooed men
\nstraddle bikes to kiss in rain
\nfair trade coffee breath<\/p>\n

Valentine<\/strong><\/p>\n

your vintage plaid shirt
\nlike the one my ex had worn
\nrecycles my heart<\/p>\n

Breakup<\/strong><\/p>\n

your chickens are gone
\nso is your recipe box
\nbut the food cart\u2019s mine<\/p>\n
