suburban drizzle

Opel Hell — Sun, 15 May 2011 12:50:53 +0000

1.
people in sneakers
spring heedlessly over
these puddles of sky

2.
with each brush of breeze
another quick rain shower
under the trees

3.
they thought it was wise
to avoid the rutted paths
lining the fairway

4.
crisp crackling babble
a spring cuts this remnant of woods
between developments

5.
suburban drizzle
fullness of spring bordering
every empty lawn

why ku?

1.
ancient rules of form
awaken new ways to coax
essence to being

2.
this whole cloth woven
selvage of logic and faith
binding the absurd

3.
left uncontested
repetition takes the form
of reality

poetica arrhythmia

1.
skin tight words fight form
stretch and strain against the grain
of dull same null frame

2.
rented mind writes code
rather render epic ode
circuit bored tech node

bits in pieces

1.
if truth were to grace
the cold mirror, would you still
believe what you see? (or)
see what you believe?

1.a
ambivalence dwells
residence of resonance
this house of mirrors

1.b
the wall is between
so it has two sides, whether
we see them or not

2.
thoughts are plentiful
like shadows they disappear
as you approach them

precarious thought
pitched into a pool of words
shattered reflections

3.
from each line dangled
such moving figures of speech
puppets entangled

what did you say?…

1.
reverie drives me
across the median strip
into the head lights

2.
despite belly shirts
unsightly trends continue
bad fashion persists.

3.
tedium tremens
infinity is yawning
fatigue is tiresome

4.
within this moment
relentless hunger abides
please order pizza

respite-ku

Opel Hell — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:48:15 +0000

rain nibbles away
at the heart’s brittle edges
life’s mid-winter thaw

this frozen nocturne
quick light fingertips leave deep
musical footprints

haik-hue

Opel Hell — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:39:43 +0000

1.
chameleons dream
a world of crisp monochrome
where nothing changes

2.
nibbling on crayons
gave the toddling prodigy
such colorful speech

time-ku

Opel Hell — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 18:37:33 +0000

1.
a leaf flutters down
a seedling root emerges
thus time is rendered

2.
bargain of being
skein of tangled thread loaned for
the length of a life

over a blank page
I deliberate the terms
and scrawl agreement

3.
in the weft and warp
the heart races and the mind
clicks like a shuttle

weaving its motion
into patterns with each
loop and turn inscribed

4.
fabric of being
woven into tapestry
one selvage and self.

sidewinding haiku-ery

1.
quantum devilry
reverie’s revelry is
time’s sweet dilation

strung out in theory
free falling fallow nudges
wor(l)ds into motion

2.
disencumbered space
reframes eternal questions
of cause and effect

spheres of influence
disassemble what you said
into what we heard.

3.
everything changes
rearrange the furniture
clear all surfaces

the mind follows thus
seeking clarity as it
endlessly reflects

what spins toward it
torn by forces strong and weak
a strange attraction

being is being
reformed by an idea
dreamt by its own dream.

hanging in there

1.
unclear directions
result in many wrong turns
confusion persists.

2.
clatter and claptrap
vandals have sacked the language
empty speech prevails

beneath the banners
tragedy and elation
persist arm in arm.

4.
as terror persists
new restraints are introduced
fingers are pointed.

fingers are pointed
shrillness passes for debate
still nothing changes.

5.
gridlock, the mother
of all head-banging. Better
than sex, drugs, TV

ritualizing
stalemate and freezing patterns
of interaction.
