(2013)
This was a haiku I wrote near the beginning of Fall on a day I was feeling a bit under the weather.
#Autumn #Fall #Haiku #Illness #October #Sneeze
Five points to this as stated thus… Five; to pick up things once falle… Four; to grasp all things from wir… Three; to greet, to cheat, and din… Two; to bind wild lovers with gold…
No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told
Ask me who he is A tall tree and branches keen words drop; leaves shaken I try to collect them all But forget them by the stream
Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
The mind of a girl That swirling vertex of bright Is unreachable So we put up these steel walls When we could have built a bridge!
The darkest of nights It is on these nights I turn To these keys, clicking Fervently beyond reason Behind safely shadowed doors
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
The spotlight glares down Bright, bright, sight, sight My cloak swiftly surrounds White, White, Swish, Swish, The fabric shell billows but stays
Twelve in numbered spin Once reaching double digits Feel the crisp brisk sweeps Sudden gentle remainders Subtle breath of orange array
The end of the road A distance we all travel Darkness as moonlight Spreads over stone and flowers That litter our path ahead
Bickering tree frogs Endless croaking back and forth Dream a soothing song One where two branches can meet In this capital forest
愛の歌 空に隠れた それなのに この忘れない 音、まだ響く
Lofting lazily Enter murky depths of feel Quivering eyelids Two heavy from the weight of The thoughts that lead me astray
I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow
Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life
