Time masks its truth of
Becoming a mute guillotine
Or a god for you.

Blast from the Past:

Creeping vines of time
Entwine our lives together
Absorbed into one

I wish I had a
Button I could press to end
All the traffic sounds

Blast from the Past:

A quintessential New York moment:
Cross the street. A car
Whips around the bend, honking
Like I am to blame.

Flowers in full bloom
In front of which everyone
Stands for a selfie

Blast from the Past:

In this city of
Crowds clambering and clanking,
You can feel alone

(This first haiku is about a flower garden I saw in Bangkok. The second one was about New York City.)

Beneath this silence
Where speech can’t venture, I cry
Alone with the night

Blast from the past:

Alone in the crowd
Solitude in the hustle
The silence of sound

Fire and water meet,
And out of the clash comes the
Creation of worlds

Blast from the Past:

Fathom creation.
Flee like a belief into
Untouched subtlety.

As the earth consumes
Me, fever and loss are all
That can protect me.

Blast from the Past:

Waking, plagued hands turn
Their rocket’s autopilot
Away from the sun

Even tiny stones
Help alter the river’s course
Each one plays its part

Blast from the Past:

When you yield yourself
To the flood rushing forward,
You float upon it

I based on this second haiku on Medieval Japanese poem: https://www.poetry-chaikhana.com/Poets/I/IkkyuSojunIk/vastflood/index.html

Barred teeth, focused eyes
White fangs, dripping with
Your blood

Blast from the Past:

Lay awake then rise
The sun will soon return, to
Reveal your demons
