I might’ve left you there
On the floor, propped up near the door
Gingerly wrapped in plain brown paper
Instead, as I remember, I scooped you up gladly
Wanting to know why
Shouldn’t you be placed in the center of it all
In the gathering place
So that if they cared
Everyone could know

Kin: A Haiku
Unsettled I am
Reflecting on the fine line
Hope and Delusion
In Hope: A Haiku
I promise god this
I’ll follow calm’s quiet cue
I’ll love what is Right
Our Rain: A Haiku
And no one was him
Tho’ I lived to ninety-nine
I recalled his hand
never ever never
Nothingness to see
An ache
Rising to despair
A graduate of searing numbness
Linger here and hear
Some final sigh into the night
Whose agony
Stars cannot pierce
All this to taste
A certain fate
When if you do
Give up your Hope
Bandy: A Haiku
The cool Country eve
Hopes to get a leg up on
The hot Urban morn’
Legend
The water most blue
And the wake so gentleAs the fabled ghost, now untied, makes its way away, away
The confused and seasick struggles to fix a gaze
With a hope that makes legends prove true
The Duel
Always one step
Never not one height
Ahead and above
Joy you wereAlways I walked
Never half-hearted
Faith and love
Hope I hadAlways an ending
Never though certain
Sharp and swift
Blind it came
Little Friend: A Haiku
Bruised Shins
I am forced to rip things
Right from the ceiling
Things that like the ceiling
Should never have been
I am forced to face flowers
Bleeding on skin
Flowers in need of new skin
Injected with pinpricks of hope
I am forced to my knees
On ground that is strong
Knees by the habit made strong
Despite the bruised shins
