of being
blessed
to die young
to escape
neglect

refuse
girls in white dresses
lain on forest floor like bones
knuckles curled like leaves

haiku
blunt instrument
i investigate
a murder without a body
beaten,
hearts
still
beat

…instead
i shall not mind now
that you are dead ( to me now)
i love our children…

haiku
gravity
bury me high in
the hills so only angels
may tread on my grave

haïku
lost man
ask me for a kiss
to perfume your sleep your death
ask me for my breath

haïku
before him
i knew him before
he died
inside
just like
his
father
before him

the original title of this haiku
root canal
glimpse
the yellow lights shone
through darkness’ bones and flesh
flashing oily death
.
haiku
leaves
the woman whispers
the woman
mustn’t have
to die
in this one
lie

haiku
stop’it
i went into a pit to rescue my sister who was down there in it
i beseeched her to reach up, climb out to the light but in fright
she held me to her and together we swallowed the night
she cried, at least she wasn’t alone
.
not a haiku
.
should we drown so another is not alone
or show the way, lead the way, be the way
