ignite last night

my hair smells of wood

smoke of your lips lingers could

spark any moment

.

haiku

refuse

girls in white dresses

lain on forest floor like bones

knuckles curled like leaves

.

haiku

dreamt of

a night we ran down

the steep dark path into pool

of midnight moonlight

.

haiku

something opens

eyes clenched closed

: silence :

prayer utters itself in throat

without conscious thought

.

haiku

christmas wish, this

i put a pear tree

in a partridge in a swan ~

longing for sweetness

.

haiku

dirt music

i dig down into

the garden of my self

unearthing truth and

worms and roots

flowers too

and in doing so

heal self and heal earth

singing hours

breath by breath my self

butterfly ~ bee light

.

not a haiku

besties

dreamt we kissed, tasted

bad

you said

you’d got married

hadn’t told me

sad

.

haiku

in the great hall

i’m casually ignored

food passes over my head

serene, manna falls

.

haïku

sunwinged

her feathered fingers

ground him

her earth breath lingers

lifts him to heaven

.

haiku

blur

a murder of nights

thrash of sheets inked grittily

‘tween slither of days
