Remind me to love, LordEntrepreneur: A Haiku
Your dreams — I scared you
I did what you’d not yet done
I believed in you
No Gown
Are we okay with being alone
With no other soul to hold the ladder
To stand by us, tasting, in the test-kitchen that is life
Allowing, for once, after all the illusion
Reality
When we release our grasp and find no one but ourselves
Need we ask why
What mythical stealth robbed us here
Who climbed into this tower, cat-like, to gleefully take
What will we make of it
This secondhand plan that has nothing to do with the tales we were told
A finer legacy, perhaps
Torch
Beauty me up, artist
Swim through my day, my life
Whirlwind ’round the kitchen
In and out each room, each window
Lingering, busying
Leave no ion, yard, or garden of me unchanged
Then when my heart smiles, long last!
Teach me artistry
That I may take the torch
Better
This is what we want
A help-meet or two
Who’ll listen in the dark with us
Be beside us
Cry with us over the suffering of the purported Other
Then wish with us
Then try
To make It better
Helping Her Go (6)
“You made it this far
Wonder, man…wandering now
Stop. Push her beyond”
Always these words
Never these feet
Victor’s conscience never bothered him, though
You came here to help her
You came here to fall
For Her
Did you not?
Let’s learn if between the two of you
There is enough grit to start
To fuel an industry
“It IS my business,” Cressida thought
Suddenly
Randomly
And it bothered her so
Course
This beautiful crash
The pieces
The woman
Unrecognizable
And there will be a void
The would-be help
The People: The Haiku
You are in need, Man
In these days, We, The First-Born
Know only to help
Our Out
Out of that closet
Who knew would come
Walkin’ shoes
Dancin’ shoes
Finest shoes, Country shoes
Shoes proving years of effort
Whilst acquiring
Coverings intended to serve as coats
Business coats
Helping coats
Fancy coats, Tattered coats
Coats that don’t fit anymore
But should
And shall, once we put on our shoes
We’ll learn as we come
Out of that closet
Landscape
As They fall
Or try to jump
Some refusing, debating gravity
Some letting go easily
I watch
I come close
I attend
To their this season’s stamina
To their next year’s rebirth
Early arrival
On time, or delayed
Let the Weather so decide
