the large black eyes stare
from a body hardly there.
what’s known of unknowns.
Haikus
nubby stubs
the long dry goodbye.
the dessert runs forever.
sandman grinds my stubs.
skeletal grapes
empty grape coral.
i have eaten the earth’s lungs.
brown twigs stand stiffly.
hopeless
the sad ticking clock
will you stop bullying me.
i am just helpless.
sea threw
by inches and pounds
i’m the disappearing man.
looking into me.
saint sinner
the saints stand in line.
the sinners walk a rough path.
sinning for sainthood.
