Haiku (21-25)



21
through the woods we've walked
not every time emerging
with a tale to tell


















22
seeking whom to maim,
idea-estuary bull
sharks prowl the shallows


















23
gelding's diamond brow
white in winter field reflects
the garnet sunset


















24
desperation seeds,
the dandelion shunts a
feathered dynasty


















25
space remains for you
even when the pages close,
silverfish bookbug
