The cuscus glances at
His lover across the branch
In the afterglow of sex
Blast from the Past:
What is the point of
Fine roses in the pathway if
You can’t enjoy them?

04/05/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
Stand in line
All we need is
Your compliance
Blast from the Past:
I should fall in line?
For a job? That’s never worth
It in the long run.
04/04/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
How are we
Supposed to build
Our fortresses of resilience
Upon only
Loneliness, stress, and exhaustion?
Blast from the Past:
I keep circling
The vortex of agony:
Cycle of anger
04/03/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
I sit here bobbing
Angsty yet bored, waiting out
The rest of my life
Blast from the Past:
Prisoner I am
Locked in a cage of freedom
Waiting for a key
04/02/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
The call deafens me
From the unstruck note sounding
Within the abyss
Blast from the Past:
Ascend the abyss
Mayo you be blinded by the
Patient rays of light.
04/01/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
It’s very bitter.
My heart’s bitter through and through.
Eat some. I just did.
Blast from the Past:
What form should I take?
None of these do me justice
Shadows of my truth
03/31/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
Water flooding at my face
Down down down I fall
My rope my only comfort
Blast from the Past:
Who would recognize
The withered leaf turned adrift
Whenever they pass
03/30/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
If our pets knew what
We humans were really like,
Would they choose to stay?
Blast from the Past:
Strapping boys end up
Mensplainers set in their ways.
Disappearing men.
03/28/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
We stand. We fall.
We pretend we were
Never meant to stand together at all
Blast from the Past:
The world’s one with me
and my freedom as we each
Create the other.
03/26/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
As I paint these words
In my poem, I really
Paint my very heart
Blast from the Past:
My thoughts fall like rain
As I grab as many as I can
As words for you
