Haiku XXIV
Fragile violet bells
Tugged into windshielded niches
Sprouting from hard rock

Breakup
But
how about
love and joy
you demandingly asked.
When hearts and souls don’t match
there isn’t much room for love and joy
I answered,
secreting away
my joyfully batting wings of love
from your cross-questioning eyes,
watching them
set out for newfound shores.

Buried Dreams
As soon as
she realized that
physical compatibility
will never make up for
an emotional flatline
she buried
her dreams
cleared out
the dusky coffin of her late desire
sanguinely spread her wings
finally pervaded by light.

Wild though trapped and caged
Willfully dismantled esprit
Flight saved heart and soul

We’re done
I know we shouldn’t love.
At least not each other.
I know we’re not meant
for one another.
I‘ve never thought
of a happy ending
but I’m rootedly tired
of always pretending.
Of pretending that I do not care
that there’s nothing between us
but a fucking affair.
I will let you go.
Will not hold on
to a sweet hurting nothing.
We’re finally done.

for one another.

that there’s nothing between us

Will not hold on
to a sweet hurting nothing.
