The star breaks into
A million false hopes, dashed dreams.
Awake my blind child.

The snake is hissing.
Its diamond eyes cast a sin.
Suffering begins.

And women are mere players.

I am so drowsy,
The air envelopes me now.
There’s no escaping.

A flower dropped on his head.

Don't (Haiku)

Above, under, in between,
Don’t ask their meanings.

To swim, to coat, to worship
My battered system.
