blanket
blanket,
lay closer
to me,
hold me,
protect me
from
the barking
cold
as if
someone
would protect
a child
from a
savage dog
that would
choose
to do
some
discomfort
or harm.

No Title.
That little girl's rotting corpse,
Still moans in my bones,
And no amount of makeup,
Could make her pretty again.
Still moans in my bones,
And no amount of makeup,
Could make her pretty again.

the dandelion princess
those
dandelions
stood
upright and
proud, their
lively smiles
easily seen
in the
early morning
light,
then young
hands came
to pick
those bright
flowers,
making
a bouquet,
she gave
herself
title of
the dandelion
princess

young and fearless
i was once
young
and fearless,
i did
things
to my
satisfaction,
too careless
to be
beat down,
but now
so many
years
have passed,
my youth
long gone,
and i
take
my time,
i'm
a little
more cautious
these days.

moonlight drive
full moon
blood orange,
the stars
in their
bone boxes,
all waiting,
bowing,
perhaps
it is
sentimental,
in
the event
it was
once weddings,
fat babies,
now, this
and that.

familiar memory
this memory
is familiar,
it resembles
a place
i lived
as
a child,
with each
deep breath,
my feet
traveled over
that soil,
i breathe
that air,
i can see
the old
farmhouse,
the gone
faces
watching
over me
all so
familiar,
and how
i miss
them
so much.

at night, as a child
I used to hide under the bed clothes hoping the morning wouldn’t find me, but it does ..

All Burns Haiku
Flesh lusts for beauty.
Shared dances learned in childhood.
All burns in the end.
Shared dances learned in childhood.
All burns in the end.

the move were bloody brilliant
just a boy playing with his toy cars in the alley whilst listening to his trannie*
bursting out “I can hear the grass grow”, but not around here, he says

mango rush
World Haiku Day: 2023 April 17
Haiku No. 6
mango rush again
yellowed by their fruited suck
boys pursue the dawn
