evaporating
tears streak the hazy windows
now closed to fresh air

prayer letting
that melancholy dagger
spins on my crown
which eye it’ll fall down
well i pay it no mind
as the beggars hustle by
i listen to their tumbling sighs
while the gods bleed prayers for me
while the gods plea
while the gods bleed prayers for me
i am no longer an oblation
no more chained by faith
i reside as a freed wraith
haunting a defaced sun-dial
as the beggars shuffle by
i absorb their de feet ed sighs
while the gods bleed prayers for me
while the gods plea
while the gods bleed prayers for me
I’m an old dusty vinyl skin
with a rusty bent needle
hanging out of my mind
stuck between my brows
wrinkled distressed tracks
as the beggars groove on by
i watch their bodies slump and sigh
while the gods bleed prayers for me
while the gods plea
while the gods bleed prayers for me

a cautioning haiku
stay back from the cliff
fossils of view can’t you see
drop off the cliffs face

a tendril haiku
candle smoked words writ
waxing from poets fingers
down to burnt out stubs

a throwback haiku
a snagged sprat landed
life must evolve dear mother
to times fishy end

an unforgettable haiku
a beguiled kiss lands
upon the collard blue babe
an elephants curse

a bombing haiku
on a tick tock stage
buried under the spot light
a joke dies badoom

a castaway haiku
it was a milestone
till it was kicked down the road
onto an island

stagnant
behold
a songbird quartet
how do I forget
the self-denying regret
the
black bird tears
laid
between my ears
emptiness
hatches
in growing
patches
but
never flies away
even
as the nest does decay

a caving haiku
cranium campfires
the outlawed shadows hideout
from the books false laws
