Dreamt of a Memory

Lost in thought when

Of a sudden my

Breath caught, snagged

On a memory.

In hills high, a circle

Of my fiercest friends:

Was my warmth born

From the flaming

Hearth or from the

Burning hearts

Encircling me?

Outside, the snow in

Silence fell but

Inside I was

Insulated by the

Wealth of the love in

Which I was

Warmly ensconced. 

Haiku #413

Shadows behind eyes 

A world fresh every day 

Time's roots rest within 

Haiku #412

This is a haiku

Cherry blossoms and some tea 

Coffee costs too much 

Haiku #411

Blessings fell down grey 

Roiling black skies only weep 

Ashen land no more 

Haiku #410

Mute dreams thunderbolts

The blind may see but not look

Divisions divine 

A Last Sadness

Question not your 

State of grace

When the pain

Has passed 

If you now your 

Life give up and 

With it too your 

Human cast

Take comfort in 

The gift that was a 

Hard earned past

In turns as both 

The host and guest

That together birthed

Your happiness 

And its twin, a 

Last sadness 

Left sighing,

Always sighing,

In the wind

Haiku #409

My veins still run red

Somehow feeding a black heart

That casts white shadows 

In Passing

How long is an æon?

How many eras in an inch?

Where to find Sir Theron, 

Whose mother was a bitch?

Haiku #408

Walk wet shifting shores

One foot entropic, one not

The sea's swells betray 

Haiku #407

Nice elephant soap 

Moonlight blue cools all it sees 

Trade winds bring seasons

Haiku #406

The leaves turned traitor 

Her eyes colder than moonlight 

Night crashed, fell like hail 

Haiku #405

Earth welcomes us all 

Death's only transformation 

Life shines through roses 

Sapientia Cotidie Oritur

Now, be born as

The past returns 

On sandals worn.

Circle that which burns 

For heat cleanses forms.

In holy flame you turn 

As anterograde sights

In the sparkling night.

Trust in the gilded light, 

Dance now left 

And to the right,

Dance until the 

Yawning morn when 

The Sun again shall 

You adorn.…

Haiku #404

Those who rule us do 

Because we allow them to 

Suss this human zoo 

Haiku #403

Overhear to see 

Domesticity set free 

Dream that lust's a need 

Hawkeye

Eye the skies, see illusions, 

Veiled confusion, and 

Try to cry, defy the 

Crush of thumbs applied, 

A desperate attempt

To measure the moisture 

In your glassine gems,

That arcane ruby fluid

Carrying such a clear,

Holy and perfect view 

Of the ghosts of your soul.…

Coda

The farther this world crawls forward on bleeding knees and technologies obsolete while incomplete, my hate shall illuminate every impotent atom, be it planned in an ancient future or, while living, sutured to the beauty of loving entropy.…

Haiku #402

Wind spills scented air

Yesterday held wave cascades

Beware too clear dreams

Haiku #401

Some clay lacks spirit 

Some forms call out for shaping 

Will reads the World's rules 

Haiku #398

Be the subjective

Stand humans, grin and object 

'Else all's naught to null
