A new day a new haiku
Invisible lines
Stretch across the wilderness
Disconnecting us
Scarred silver skies shine
Sinking sunlight steels my mind
Set my sights to sea
Rivers run away
Carrying burdens each day
Yet they are still here
If I close my eyes
Will the world still be out there?
It’s inside my mind
I should have known it
Everything I touch turns sour
Break me to pieces
An abandoned egg
Precariously balanced
Left out in the cold
What am I saying
Without words? Without meaning
Who am I being?
Within my own mind
Incompatible ideas
Reside, side by side
Wavy seas of grass
Their heavy heads sway and bend
Hazy seeds of brass
In twisted spirals
I weave a wonky burrow
Leave a winking hole
Shiny silver eye
Shining down inside my hide
There is always hope
Hanging from a branch
Complete, unending and whole
Until the winds blow
Conjoined tree trunks twine
Still undivided in death
Inseparable love
So I lay down bored
Floored by tongue in groove antics
I think we nailed it
Most things I forget
The rest melt inside my mind
We are memories
Grasses bend their heads
Under scorching summer sun
These days are the days
Birch in full flourish
A gloamy golden glowing
Going nowhere fast
In these cool waters
Relinquished, revitalised
Still stand sure stand still
Under the surface
Simmering fermentation
Hidden thoughts reside
Is this thought profound
Or just hopelessly worthless?
I withhold judgment
Further down the line
I will fade in the distance
We are inbetween
We are only clouds
Transient and transforming
Drifting through the blue
Daylight slips away
Shadows crawl over the fields
Every trouble fades
Goodbye clear blue sky
Closing in on closing out
Hello warm and dry
