gray cat on the couch
trying to look unperturbed.
steely eye on me.
Haikus
old salt
wet air moans softly.
like a drowning man’s last breath.
salty the ocean.
metal mouth
the pistons pumping.
the bellows heaving like trains.
taste blood in the mouth.
famished forever
the long starvation.
the bulbous eyes in gaunt skull.
does the famine end?
don’t blink
that time i watched you
grow into a loving man.
my life in a blink.
dumb bro
a train whistling wind.
a stampede of four horsemen.
bang the drum ’til dumb.
