Cicada | Haiku

summer is the call
cicadas hum and chirp to —
I answer, find me

Lose | Haiku

focusing on my
pain is how I lose the hand
I'm holding right now

Meaning | Haiku

can life lose all its
meaning — and could there ever
be one without love?

Bird | Tanka

joy would always leave
me like a bird that flew out
of its cage and — when
it came back knocking on the
glass — I wouldn't let it in

Floodgates | Tanka

I don't tell you things
because explaining in length
things long brewing's like
standing at the floodgates of
a river as it empties

Get | Free verse

if I have to kneel before your body
to get what I want — and
hear songs of quick shallow breaths —
soft praises — from your mouth agape
— no wonder they call it

a TEMPLE

Stopped | Haiku

know that if I leave
I didn't stop choosing you —
I stopped choosing me
