Posted on The Haiku Wednesday Fiasco: Memorial group for Leah Kane




The Haiku Wednesday Fiasco



as I restructure
I understand less but am
gripped by others' Grace



I remember the
lost I was finding in you
just being near me





death by one thousand
bites an ecstascy of one
revealed by hindsight





lice cough loudly now
jack of the harpsicord in
the loop of the hanged





fly gets what he wants
in time butterfly flits on
nowhere maggot wins





always the bagman
cardoor slams squeals sidewalk strange
street light dims rain begins





to hold back today
is to slash and curse the waves
who soon bring Wednesday







studying only
I swat a fly buzzing then
see love passing by





the Earth bears the weight
the whole Cosmos grinding down
so you won't suffer





you are unfolding
like a mandala to me
and am left longing





overcome greatness
and be the Fool of the World
idiot mystic love





see you and quicken
Presence of the Mystery
learn to be mortal





Karma is a flirt
slaps your ass when not looking
old game Cosmic tag






triumphant footfalls
horses' hooves cats' paw paddings
Nature's gait is yours





selling of my heart
fake gold watches on street corner
losing self-respect






simple passerby
your presence is a sparking
sets my world aflame
