Silver Lining: A Haiku
Your chill resolves me:
I’ll find bless’ed Northern Lights
In Winter’s sunset
June Will Be Okay
Deciding this morning whether
To be afraid for our weather
For this Earth
For its Underlings
I noticed triumph
Its and Theirs
I saw green, cold tears
Gladness!
There was little left to do
Open wide the window
Cry out
Three cheers for a cold victory!
Steel & Glass
Hold fast to speed
Virility
With horse-powered heart of cold, hard steel
That feeds the oats my hand cannot
Fall sleeping, glassy-eyed
Blind
A plasma world upon a wall I cannot penetrate
That feeds fairytales, as my feet live actually
Cold Blood
So icy
It was
How many times did I cut my hands
Cut my heart
Cut my teeth
It was
As if I’d lived a thousand Januarys
Only
And I were a cold-blooded creature
Who’d somehow survived
What The Cold
Because in this heart
Learning’s long since been arrested,
Summer’s unending
Therefore in this skin
Understanding’s never quite conceded,
Winter’s arriving
June 21, 2016: A Haiku
I need your shoulders
covered, dear one, when the night
air proves chilled again.
Veiled
To tip-toe eternal I am able
Though are you not bored with this gentle dance
Have you not tired of the dusty curtain calls
Or watched enough of me in the wings
Can I not come crashing through
And at your feet petition truth
I recall tenderness I could not have imagined
I pray and I trust you are warm with mercy
Where have I spent these years
Will the rest be so cold
Cold Fate
No soul
Will care
To cry
For youYour arms
So strong
Will stay
Stone coldThat fate
Was sealed
Those years
Ago
