high noon, I waited
for you at the torii
night came, you did not ⛩

What? | Haiku

don't ask me to stop
we've been loving, and hurting
so long, it's the same

let's not skip the part where I confess
and go straight to heartbreak

Desks | Tanka

flowers and dried leaves —
these GRAVESTONES neatly ALIGNED
  just like office desks
    and cars stuck in traffic jams
      and spreadsheets with empty cells

Either | Haiku

lights on or lights off —
does it really matter, when
either way we'll smash

Step | Haiku

I step to my right
approaching girl hesitates
she steps to her left

Asthma | Free verse

love can
sometimes
feel like

it's a CHAIN-SMOKER
with asthma

Smoking kills.
(World Health Organization: WHO, 2023)
