free as ii

i nest inside me

breast softest place ye may not

touch nor breach, ye beast!

after taste

from your warm came this

swarm ; sudden stings welcomed in

dissipated love

dis-temper

haiku

rock-a-bye-bye

each time he smashed her

thinking she’d get softer

strangers’ voices spill corrupt

from constricted lips

.

haiku

piranha pirouettes

some things can turn slime ~

nasty in an instant that

last a damned life time

haiku

ladies room

i mazed my way to

the exit , the excuse, harsh

unexpected hush

.

haiku

oasis

they’ll carry cactus

damage in their mouths, melons

as sweet hurt as wells

.

haiku

plucked

his slender fingers

( never tender instruments )

used to

blunt romance
