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

a fretting haiku
worry warts revolt
my conTENTED army falls
yet my peace ensues

a pallid haiku
flags will fall as ash
the human race will be lost
on a three leg horse

A Squatters World
i can’t live in water
i can’t live in dirt
yet
it’s as easy to breathe in water
as it is to breathe in dirt
but
where i can be a squatter
there is only the unpalatable air
exhausting
from the political factories
that man u fac true hurt
