07/21/26 A New Haiku for a New Day

The bird in the bush
And the squirrel in the tree
Remind me I’m not alone

Blast from the past:

Survival lies in
Taking full advantage of
Your insanities.

At the sight of death,
What do we have left to love
But that we can fall

Blast from the past:

Life emerges from
Destruction. Exploding stars
Form a genesis.

The cliff faces shine
Against the waters of the
Rice paddies below

Blast from the Past:

The shooting star glides,
The last piece of the jigsaw
Filling in the sky

One cat tears into
The other’s face, but I can
Do nothing to stop him.

Blast from the past:u

Opportunists at
The world’s end, they emerge to
Prey on the oppressed

I’m the setting sun
Descending over the
Light of tomorrow

Blast from the past:

Out of nothing came
Everything, from one spark the
Entire universe

I am the shifting
Wind that you have never been
Able to grasp

Blast from the past:

The wind blows away
Your dandelion wishes
Before you can try

We are like seashells,
Echoing the universe,
If you listen in

Blast from the past:

Talking and talking
Not listening to the world
Of the other

Bugs swirl in the air
Emerging from nothing
Just to become dead
Crunches all over the ground

Blast from the past:

To be forgotten
Only to be recalled for
A flicker then snuffed.

If you feed the cats,
The rats will flee

Blast from the past:

Initiation
Countdown sequence beginning
Is there enough time?

Cozy and asleep,
The cat only needs to wake
To catch one mouse

Blast from the past:

Never know when to
Stop. Push yourself far enough
Everything crumbles.
