Series of Haiku

Each of my father’s
Italian Uncles wore hats
while grilling sausage
***
New Zealand wine rolls
over my tongue tasting like
wet stones and kiwi
***
My husband’s birthmark
is the size of my thumbprint
and soft as Lamb’s Ear
*************
Roses for my grandma
and my grandfather’s mistress
on the same receipt
**************
Fried chicken feather
the day of his funeral
spoils my appetite
***************
She confuses hours
A.m. or p.m.?  she thinks

and then makes breakfast
