One Haiku, Two Haiku-not

Knife cuts spud in half
soil on the broken wood board~
steel from deep within.


Street woman peeled her nose
a blanket on her legs~
late winter caressed her face.

Ballerina Tangled in a Thornbush

Before me dance
all beautiful ballerinas
in celebration of a quiet secret

An Illumination shun
from insight
caught in the veil
of my refusal

Blinding glimpses
grace unburdened
by the thorns;
Love, a dance 
of unstoppable motion

Rattling the stage 
with intermittent walk
between its lights
and its shadows

As the Masterworks
in unseen distance 
music surging from all
alluring children 

where hope awaits
divine chance
of freedom
This isn't anywhere at all. The mere existence of these words is impossible, they are only here because you and I are willing to let them be here. And here is nowhere. Once a button is pressed there isn't a chance to locate its meaning, to pinpoint the precedence and destinations it will encounter. One is many. Read or not, this is just a passing stage, and its reality is as questionable as its meaning.
