Waist-High Sunk

When you release the 
words, your curled fingers 
burst into flame.

It was an ancient filth, 
a bird fighting in the mud- 
house of quote-unquote.

Someone navigated 
over the bald heads to find 
a landing place for a cuckoo.

Between real and fiction, 
you cannot write a hymn 
in praise of satan, called god.

I am done with the darkness 
all around, and rip open 
the wall to let in the jupiter.

Haiku

Of the present, inspired by the present, invoked by Tom Cunningham. 

Quote, "Indeed a true Japan haiku must follow those rules to say yes it is a haiku, but like most things people move away and bend the rules and reshape it, one thing I've noticed is many do not follow the ( in the moment) theme where its like a photograph of an image but in word form. Tom", unquote.

‘Quote / Unquote’

Living within
quotation marks
my questions there
protected
My ownership
connected
and feelings
— most defined

(Dreamsleep: March, 2026) 

The Keys

Shackles
on the future
Handcuffs
on the past
Keys
inside the moment
Freedom
— first and last

(Dreamsleep: March, 2026) 

To Die

The enemy
of all that’s good
Perfection
lays the trap
Footprints
circling in the snow
To die
— inside their tracks
