(2013)
This was a haiku I wrote near the beginning of Fall on a day I was feeling a bit under the weather.
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told
Tonight I awoke to an orange hori… one that I had never greeted befor… It took me back, to the days of ce… and disregard for the ticking of c… Part two:
Is there something dark? Dark, dark, deep down inside me Something that keeps me Away from the center ring A divergent path indeed
The mind of a girl That swirling vertex of bright Is unreachable So we put up these steel walls When we could have built a bridge!
I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow
A sudden waking From formless blinking through dre… Please, just one more year! Surprised to glance the moon’s fac… An hour before her phase
My White Cloak Part one: Place Entering day by day (1) Into a place to grow and stay Into the foundational walls of old
To grasp at the root This longing for the seasons Hidden deep, deep down To say it’s just “Natural,” Would only scratch the leaf-tops
The end of the road A distance we all travel Darkness as moonlight Spreads over stone and flowers That litter our path ahead
Archaic toiling Through endless character streams To drown deeper still Beneath black and white waters Until I breathe symbolly
A midst cold classrooms Seemingly short dialect Audio-connect Slowly frozen hearts will drip As conversations bubble
Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life
Self-expressional Crooked poster on the wall Self-intentional Will you shatter, will you fall? Who will fix your frame of old?
Red and orange glitter Dancing delicately high Above winding paths Falling to the great grey streams Falling for grace, or duty?
