Prairie Red: A Haiku
The walls won’t demur
And the gardens must concede
I caused truth with them

Pled
No pen or parchment paper
Each step, a begging
Each breath, a silent scream
An unwelcoming I want
Reversed
A grace I need
Extended
On the Eve
serpent at My ankles, always
And nighttime evermore
“She should have known better,” they’ll say about Me
She, Me and the similar others
significant others who also ought
Now nonetheless wise to the slither
Wedded
Unending morning, I Am
Forever working out the pain
Unweaving the lies from the hours of you
The promise, I Am
As yet undelivered to the ether
Present and unstoppable now, you hearts
Wedded, I Am
To the heavens, to the Everywhere
Moving, pondering all of you ages, We
Sighted: A Haiku
I will swim upstream
And against esteemed advice
I will curse the dark
She Of The Field
Her stripes will never be white-washed
Her rudbeckia sun
Will never be tilled under
Love!
What cheapness have you done?
Your patch of earth, a briar field
Tall thistle lines your way
When beauty comes to ask you
Dear!
What answer will you say?
Justice
The Sun
Has no explaining
Nor does the long grass
The angle
The path
They’ve permitted
Justice
I won’t require
Or hold feet to the fire
Of the Squirrel
Stealing, running
From my garden
Nonplused
We were supposed to love
We were supposed to marry
We were supposed to write all that
We did
Already Antiquated
You’ve got fuel for this fodder
Not a Day you don’t pour it on
Pyromaniac old man, you are
I can fly and soar
I can glow and burn
On my own just fine, thank you
