Haiku - Isotopes

Leaving pieces of shadow behind,

Ink spillings 
On the night walk home

Haiku - Prayer

Beware the Absolute Statement

Turn your anxiety 

into prayer

Dodoitsu - Sister’s Brother

Excellence is Brilliance

Sister’s Brother, Innocence

Dislodging Memories and

Setting free the Bears

Tercet - World traveller

World traveller

We love you

Warmth is always welcome

Syllables for Finja

(Being able to)

Let go at a moment’s notice

She took my hand from behind

From the inside, like a Queen taking her King

The safe, hidden places I sought,

That called me, showed me

When I was young

Nature so beautiful

Without any human hand

I can be tucked away or swallowed up

Respect in each foot fall and care to

Do no harm

Is poetry written by humans

Who would do no harm

Care and art in the living of each step

Is it possible to walk without harm

In a military-industrial capitalist system?

How far am I removed

By Commerce.

Is it possible to walk without harm

___________

Playful intellect-weaving labyrinths of investigative exploration on the innernet

Green moss on sea rocks

All the pretty, secret places into which we can retreat

Force mind shift

Sometimes Kind

Is Cruelty

Firm can be

Words undo

Sense make take

Nature’s child

All the people

Snuggle down

Into me and you

Dune. Part of Water.

Tercet - Grudge

wanting to be left alone

she begrudgingly took part

- earth: her kingdom

Tercet - Secret birds

In a forest river bed

Secret birds make themselves heard:

How to hear to learn the language of one’s heart

Cold

Underwater

Bump on the legs

The Cold is landing,

A Visitor bearing Gifts.

Free stuff.

Different from you and I

Jumping happy wild

Care Free.

Define every thing.

Some things evade definition.

Simulations.

Encounters in oxygen shared across space with other beings.

Someone to appreciate

Someone to provide Proof of understanding.

Cold keeps the nib wet,

Ready and waiting.

Haiku for the lost lovers of Summer

That which is most beautiful,

The Now.

Reality is paper-thin.

Grahamstown - Nightjar Sound

In pocket

Found,

Away from Human World 

Noise:

Nightjar sound.

Away

Alone

Quiet,

A little bird.

Nature you need.

Come with me.

Tercet - He searched the whole of South Africa

He searched the whole of South Africa for a thimble

He threw a packet of five cent coins at some chickens

Not a single malicious bone in his body.

Tercet: Melancholia; feeling.

The quagmire of forgetfulness

And then the cave of rest and healing:

Melancholia; feeling.

Haiku: Marry me

Marry me. White pen,

White paper, clarity:

Thoughts of you swim float through

Second poetry evening

Tercet: Death is possibly the cure

Death is possibly the cure

Cannabis oil is better

Suicide is forbidden among the Hopi
