sherku: harmonica lips

That is what he
told me after
the first kiss;
he has got
harmonica lips


a found sherku, in that I read what Robert Fulghum wrote and it fit.

What is a sherku?

sacred space

cemeteries at dawn are
the only places where some
sacredness of space is

timing

He was never on time
He was never in time
His timing was exquisite

Sherku: Robert Fulghum after breakfast

The curved simplicity
Of an old spoon sitting
In an empty bowl

Note: the words are Robert Fulghum's. He may not have realized when he wrote them in the closing of his essay on True Love that he was composing a sherku.
