i launch from within                                                           ­                   
      the critical business of sleep and dreamwork          
                                                   and into the pre-furnished day
mucus skin                                            
like the first gobbed up evolver   to get turfed up on the beaches
i let go the veils   of those true solving agents
the motions     those treasurable scenes
of bloom and swoon tidal theatre
                     they disperse
and i tough out a self applied                      
                                   ­        measured  and subservient routine
          a hasty and unrewarding approach to   'productive'  business  
                                                              it­ brings me distaste
but   cements me in shared society
passer bys throw up their greetings
                                and i heave 'hellos' in return

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

i am dog-tired
my thoughts turn on me and toy

grey day of rain  drains

i needn't share the days mood

rain grey drain
indoors
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
