Small fandoms haikuathon

[sophinisba]

I reposted most of what I wrote for the small fandoms haikuathon over here, but here are a few more. No warnings for this post, gen and rated G.


Northern Exposure: Patience (Marilyn)

Patience is a friend
if your whole job is waiting
or if you do crafts.



Firefly: Safe With Me (River, Ruby)

River understands
some secrets are for telling
and some for keeping.

Ruby is like a
secret sister: skin and bone,
wide eyes and silence.

Is life simpler here?
That's what Doralee says but
not what Ruby thinks.

Men hurt little girls
the same on Jiangyin as at
Alliance bases.

But these are secrets
Simon doesn't need to know.
River holds her tongue.



Brokeback Mountain: Drawn Out (Jack)

The drive feels longer
each year; highways stretch across
state and county lines.

Memories laid down
across wide empty spaces
like hides for tanning.

Not enough moisture
to keep us young and alive
under this cold sun.
