El Ni·ño Renga

(linked haiku)

1
from tidal warming
in the winter of my birth—  
deluge to downpour

2
coming up for air
in the rushing waves' escape—  
kelp beds where I lay

3
even in my sleep
these underwater senses—  
riding the currents

4
gazing at the moon
connecting with her phases—  
my other mother

5
years of endless drought
gone into hiding for now
never far behind

6
return to winter
celebrating in the rain
of the El Ni·ño
