The sun has fallen
behind a cabal of clouds,
there it waits and burns.
The sun has fallen
behind a cabal of clouds,
there it waits and burns.
Missing You
Every occasion
that you do not occupy
is wasted on me.
Fate
We might be closer
than the stars and we might be
fools of fate, because
night after night, I dream you
into my artless embrace.
Fathomless
We are fathomless,
you edge into my currents
supple as sunlight.
We are deeper than the seas
stacked on top of each other.
– Shichigoro Shingo
A sign of friendship,
a dose of humanity.
Machine innocence.

Sorry for the brevity stressful day!
The infertile sky
carries on for miles and miles
black as a fiend’s tongue.
All that I have left
is the outline of your boot
pressed against my chest.
For now I will not
wash it off, for it must serve
in place of my heart.
Death is always fair
whoever and wherever
you are it swallows
you up, spore by spore until
there is nothing left to spawn.

And my submission for Heeding Haiku
The scent of plum heeds
my fingertips-a twig snapped-
a caress stolen.
–
we had to rewrite this poem by Chiyo-Ni
the flowering branch of the plum
gives its scent
to him who broke it off
My hands rake the earth
Searching for roots heavy enough
To reign in my scars
1
Her soul-culling hymns
Whip the ether, thick as cream
Barefaced, Spring revives
2
Must I sway to tame
Your uprisings, puppeteer
Sigh, of unjust sighs
Does heaven answer the pangs
Of our marrow or do we
