Tell yourself today
The great mystery of you
You’ll live at long last
breather: a haiku
now let’s do this thing
she pled with fading green eyes
to the fleet of foot
1
On the edge of the end
In deep need of goodness
I fastened a cape
It had to be woven in truth
This time
Lest I fall from the sky
Electric and magic
Near-reckless sensibility
Enduring and tender
Incredulous…ridiculous
Wary yet wanting of fire
I fastened the fibers of you
Wove them all through
Set you atop my shoulders
Then flew
And did I fall
unnamed well
What is this like
To profess and proclaim
An adoration
Into a listening nowhere
What do you call that
The certainty swimming
The swirling unknowing
Words on invisible ears
To the unnamed well return
Again and again find it cooled
What is this like
What do you call that
Interstellar Scholar
Steady my looking glass
Tame the night sky
Instruct my young hand
Intrigue my aged eye
Signs: A Haiku
I no longer care
The words or whether they come
I seek just godspeed
Fuel: A Haiku
Amp’d up yes we are
Adrenaline will spark us
Passion will keep us
in ink on lilac
This doesn’t matter
But somehow yes it does
Although it truly should not
And begs how can it not
This doesn’t matter
It must be unallowed
Right there in ink on lilac
It says so on my wall
Shutter-struck
Getting lost when
The shadows are long
And amber-y light
Glints
From
A particular piece
Of a place on this Earth
To
Your eye and you blink
And are found
Huddle: A Haiku
My silvery arms
Around your back-lit shoulders
This is all we need
