River Continuum
The thief has arrived, long in advance, and the theft has already begun
The all-too-familiar strategy…make them concede before sunrise
Their sleep, their breath, the hope for warmth today
NOW comes this, as it has, since before the beginning of time
The River Continuum -a respite, of sorts…a shimmering place, just for peace
Inhale the heat, take back the Now that is here
Bedside Stand: A Haiku
High Ground: A Haiku
I no longer tread
To such treacherous places
With maniac men
Come Truer
We didn’t want to know her
We wanted to be her
Certain we were her, we danced
Amidst the flames of our heart, we danced
Weaving, as dreamers do
Our story with yours
We picked up the pen
With aching hands, but ink anew
We stayed still, in Once-Upon-a-Time fashion
Hoping to make the one day we’d meet
The happy afterall
Come truer
Bad Iris: A Haiku
Said the bad Iris
Stay away, smart-mouthed Tulips
Come, sweet Impatiens
Suffer None Fools
There is this
Justice
Woven into our hands
Spin this into gold, we will
Despite the untenable hands we’ve been dealt
Despite the phantom hands we feel
Extended to us, then taken away
The Fly
I prefer my quicker shutter
When lumbering around downtown
Up town, and out of town
These nouns all move
So fast
So fancy, in the vast
I can be about
Without being found out
With my quicker shutter
You were as a fiery thing
