sunset bleeds out the day
depleted
thoughts take charge and toy with me

sunset bleeds out the day
i am dog-tired
my thoughts turn on me and toy

grey day of rain drains

my mood doesn't have to be the days mood

shoes bathe my soles
with sunlight borrowed
(i’d left them in the atrium)

haiku style

milk jade spiders
stowaways from our past home
a pout of breeding pouch
appears
our new home is similarly blessed

tanka influenced
original version

a milk fade of green
spiders came stowed in the luggage
from our past home
pouts of breeding pouches appear
our new home is similarly blessed

within depression, practices toward happiness
seem like something insincere... a betrayal of self

seeds fluff the air
agents of a nuisance **** ;
'the city' warns

faded ladybirds thrive
aggressors from a foreign land ;
'the city' warns

overnight

.

our collusion
lamplight to sunlight
                    our conclusion

our collision
boom-town to ghost-town
                    our concussion

our discussion
   overnight did mushroom
   but     by the morning light
                      ceded the fight
