Houdini
No knowing, anymore
No trusting
Houdini at the helm
While, wide-eyed and wondering
We write
Double Monocle
You were as a fiery thing
Burning
Moving
Closer
I had to double-check
Closer
I said with laughter that only I was meant to hear
Yet you came nearer
Don’t question me then, when I ask
How is it you hear?
How is it I see?
Nonplused
We were supposed to love
We were supposed to marry
We were supposed to write all that
We did
True Fiction: A Haiku
Through up-side-down eyes
Their learned smiles share this truth
We are all alone
Leather-Bound Book
He walks as the beginning of a book
And an epic message that greets -permeating the future
Invisible ink for now
She takes hold of the leather-bound book
And all but the cover is blank -a fine hello, but what next
Picking up pen, exhaling a smile
Torn Pages
I know
The unwritten Book
Its dulled dust cover
With pages well-worn
Everyone’s read It
In the questioning eyes and
On the stiff shoulders of
Others
Our names are all written inside
Clear, permanent ink
Identities edited
Feathers smoothed
What you expect of me
What I expect of you and
The consequences for failing
I know
When we see The Sun
And warmly shrug our shoulders
I know I’m in good company
That Book always scared us
So we skipped school
I know we often got busted
But here we all are today
