A new day a new haiku
Shelter of past years
Wrap your bare limbs around me
You are still safety
Under bright storm clouds
Drinking up fragrant nectar
To quench my self doubt
Magnificent sun
We are nothing to your strength
Give us perspective
Rust can’t touch these hands
Dust already covers me
I curl up and sleep
Humming overhead
Honey bees swarm with unrest
Seeking their next nest
What makes a good day?
Clear skies, sunshine, exercise
Good work, music, cake
I will play with you
I will hunt and search for time
While you still want me
Tucked in to the hills
Grasses shimmer and ripple
Betraying the wind
We are together
Each stalk rests on another
For we are brothers
Deep in swampy slime
Stagnant waters churn and roil
Queazy, uneasy
Before you know it
Curled up tight in fading light
And the day is done
What would it take to
Make you feel like you belong?
Should you leave this road?
There’s a roof to find
And someone riding a bike
Hidden in the grass
Calling corvids crow
Catch carious carrion
Cacophonously
What was once precious
Now crumbles down to the ground
Memory salvage
I want to belong
To the forest, to the fields
To the universe
Meandering back
To the long meadow grasses
Where time too stands still
They have locked the gates
Left the footpaths overgrown
Treeviction pending
Clouds smeared on the blue
Tarnishing the clear blue sky
With all my mistakes
Ripening berries
Sitting sweetly on the straw
Bursting with flavour
Each road I wander
Every footpath I follow
Always lose my way
Blown over the hills
Carried from forest to field
Never stop to rest
Days dripping downward
Wander in a daze of sound
Daisies droop groundward
When the rain had passed
From out of the dirty ground
Such beauty arose
