    July park dawning
    warm cider can by the bench
    below a dry mouth
    winter dawn
    wrapped in tattered blanket

    I hate you so much
    to much pain has been caused
    I hate you very much
    That's two things we've got, Tape and Time.

    My contribution to the Haiku thread......


    The broken arrow
    Pierced raw heart and emotion
    The dying was slow
    Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?

    Sun sets on remains
    Leaving salty tears behind
    An angel goes Home

    wasp conspiracies

    wild bush run amok,
    mind you, rose petal facades
    prickle, not tickle

    The Namibean desert wind sometimes blows as far as the heart of Zimbabwe. In one of those days, he noticed a curious and beautifull animal, all yellow, slim, and running as fast as himself. Competition, then great friendship arouse between the two runners. And so it went on for some days, sheer high of free beings. Time to separate came. So their friendship would not be forgotten, the fured runner gave the wind this curious whistle you still hear when some obstacle dares stay in it's way. The wind gave him a hundred eyes spread all over the yellow animals fur, so he would allways see the savana trough them and feel the speed along with him. That's how the cheetah gained the black marks on it's fur.
    That is beautiful. I think I'll tell my nieces about it. Would you be a cheetah if you weren't a writer? I would be an elephant:

    midwives trumpet life
    children run
    between their legs
