You must
You mustYou must
Laugh at yourself
Or
For god’s sake
Laugh at me
Laughing at myself
crumpled: a haiku
Oh the shade of shame
Of hearing my very heart
Only those two years
Lecher
Contented
Leave again and over again
Over here
A crystalline vessel then
Take
See over again and again
Over there
A shattered shell then
Contented…again…leave
Exist
I’ve a friend
I’m invisible
And able
To hear him
Tell me
Look how you notice
Look the perfection
In you
Run a way with me
I’ll never run dry of the magic
Never
Rev’
Rebel
It’s 50 or so
But there you go
Bare-knuckled
Change-bound
Into it all
Southern sun
Badger: A Haiku
The arms-length loving
All my forsaken flowers
Crushed by distant words
even breaths
I will see
My brother
In your eyes
First and only
I can cheer
My sister
In her joy
Now and always
Second-Story Windows
I’m explaining
Away
The shimmering leaves
The gust that inspired them
The light they danced with
The grace with which they fell
They’ve
Nothing
To
Do with you
At
All
Hollow: A Haiku
Invisible flag
I lay claim in the hollow
Unrequited Love
Aquinas
Forgive this unbeliever
Universe darling
I see them standing proofless
Lying to their eyes
Claiming some convergence
Between them and you and me
Will they who profess you
Refund me
For the broken pieces
I hold and held and clung to
When at first I followed
