Comrades: A Haiku

We wish for someone
Who will tell us “I am here”
Will we be that One

Li’l Gladiola: A Haiku

I keep you alive
I water you every day
Li’l gladiola

Go watering can
Gather up all the world’s dust
Some back shelf I pray

When I walked blindly
As childhood will accomplish
My heart had Such wings

What delinquency
What shame to my guardian
My wayward carouse

I cannot make you
Tho’ I loved, proclaimed and died
I am reconciled

See me lost at sea
A speck on the horizon
Relish the distance

All of time taught me
This nothing means anything
And there is This Hope

The wind, it wants in
From low to the ground, I shout
Come, bring your friend rain

I will bite deeper
To forget the core of you
Apple sweet Apple

Always this is there
The white, the arms, the angel
I am always here

To give my green eyes
To replace them with the blues
To put down my pen
