Arrow: A Haiku
Whether you’ve fallen,
or leaped so to rise anew,
here you are. Now what?
We: Our Haiku
We’ve all these -isms
Seeking meaning and purpose
Why neglect to Love?

Walk as Slow Ember
Lava Glowing
Dance now, Demure Firework
Eternal Flame
Perfect Poetry
Run to me, Fiery
Wall Street
What sustains you, friend?
And, as one eternally tethered to the We that is you, too
I care not of the answer
Unless it entreats you
Go the distance, scale the heights!
For lengths you gain at our expense
Whether dirt road or Wall Street
Are, in fact, as ten steps back

Two Of You
Too much to bear
Lying there
By your side
Dying inside
Doubting twin
Stranger to yourself, you
Strangled, then stifled
My abundance
Magical beat-downs
Neither finger nor voice raised
Black and blue and dazed
My trust and hope, drained
Wear your lying, victim’s eyes
Cloak yourself in feigned faithfulness
Lady-friends who rescued you
Shall soon become your targets, too
Brave: A Haiku
Make you move mountains
Love me like a big-leaguer
Make you run not walk
Army of One: A Haiku
Self-hatred and angst
We will forthwith be free from
They said to their souls
