Hold callus in your hand.
Catch abrasions on knees.
Prepare skin for laceration.
When it comes, cradle it.
Gaping wounds don’t appear
overnight. Reassure it, aside
from the callous of the world,
it will always have a home
with you, as it weeps.

Dialed a phone
(schick schick schick)
and called a friend.
We hailed a taxi to
a silent disco where
we played loud music
above the silence.

It had never been
done.

We reveled in our
rebellions.

As we spoke easy.

My suffering is
exploited, put on display;
I must sell my pain

Apparently today I chose angst :P

Don't think that you know
all my needs; you never give
what I can't ask for

You don't hear me when I say
'I wish you'd listen to me'

Sitting on the porch
Warm night fireflies and crickets
Lost art of being

This limerick's simply sublime
And inspiring in meter and rhyme;
It expresses but nought
With intelligent thought
And to write it used acres of time

The room where all
forgotten ideas go,
size unknown.

Undulating expand,
wavering contract?

Or fixed geometry.

Ideas increase,
crowding ensues.
Lost poems fuse with
unseen plans,
pressure, collapse.

Black hole, or biggest
bang, and creativity
every where
every when

Silence
20240517

Nothing speaks so loudly
as raw silence
when there has been a loss.

It’s the only sound
that resonates
within the gaping ache
of emptiness
where not so long before
there fit
a whole and breathing
soul.

Baby mouse
By my car

Holding still
Frozen in fear

Keep going tiny one
Tis neither your day to die
Nor mine

Summer moon above the tree
Magic in the air

Looking for fresh air, the moon

I submitted two haiku to the Sakura Haiku Challenge of the Consulate-General in Toronto, Canada and they are both included in the beautiful anthology. Free to read and download: 👇🏽

We can numb it with
ice. It might take time.
But o’clock we’ve got.
And at absolute zero,
frozen stares and
charges flow in pairs,
with even the halting
halted on stairs, and
hate might as well
be a popsicle stand
and it’s loving
standing still,
by the way.
