HAIKU

I

indeterminate

determination rare sense

more roads and less rain

II

strong roots above ground
sound asylum underneath
mystery triumphs

III
seek slowly the win
buried sureness enchanted
pull hard on the prize

IV
wind has no meaning
empowered romantics breathe
at birth in pursuit

V

miss the waterfall

fall forever until the

road appears again

VI

stay outside the zone
remain if the song has no

entry to stories

VII

from the inside there
is revealed what was hidden

master that and soon

VIII

leave no key unturned
music lifts weights of all kinds

backs left bent or straight

IX

arrive or depart

follow or lead the parade

decision matters

X

I meant to write a
silver tongued message for you
and then I forgot

XI

push wisdom out of
a damp cave of moldy voice

remake what comes next

XII

mad meds in the night
vision comes slowly to light
on a limb we own
