Haiku by April Salzano


Choose to think he can,
or choose to think he cannot.
He will prove you right.
 


Pac Man, Mario,
noises that reverberate.
Rock, block, flap, jump, stim.


 
Same sentence over
and over stuck on repeat
comfort one more time
 


It’s loud, I like it.
Too much is never enough
to fill my silence.
 


Developmental
delay. Axis II deferred.
Only time will tell.





April Salzano teaches college writing in Pennsylvania and is working on her first several collections of poetry and an autobiographical novel on raising a child with Autism.
