tectonic non-descript

the abject neglect

never mentioned!

caused the rift

to platonic drift

.

haiku

Ps

as if one needed one explanation for separation

refuse

girls in white dresses

lain on forest floor like bones

knuckles curled like leaves

.

haiku

atrocities

all the things i love

wrapped up in a 5 pound note

not a boat to float

.

haïku

emptied

i could waste myself

on another unfurnished

goodbye or adieu

.

haiku

play,mate

i’ll be your anchor

and your waves and your perfect

storm your crime your home

.

haiku

your worth

they charge you quite a

lot to travel out of hell,

but… get the fuck out !

.

haïku

help i yelp

i got tangled up

in other people excuse

if i’m knot myself

.

haiku

nobody’ll notice me

leaving my marriage

pierced by unfamiliar rare

joy of truancy

.

haiku

échoes of Sylvia

i’m the clean dawn light

breaking home bonds

bringing breath

laughter empty space

.

haiku

.

i enjoy myself again

as i never remember having done

though i broke my home

though i broke

comfort

i feel cleanly shattered

peels of laughter shimmer

under breath released from

under the agony

of what has gone

on

alone

is beginning

is fun

i’m this

after-life beginning

to live

i’m light, hon

.

‘ I simply cannot go on living the … agonizing life I’ve been living … I want a clean break, so I can breathe and laugh and enjoy myself again’.

Sylvia Plath

august 1962, letter to mother

earth to earth

i’ll put my soul in

to dirt hole

invite insects

rabbits

seeds

to feed

.
