Haiku


fluorescent white light
reveals people conversing
time lost in a room

night falls on the town
towers glow like galaxies
windows each a star

seabird circles high
the violent ocean churns
white waves, stormy sky

raindrop glides down glass
outside a wild storm gathers
fall slowly, gently

Painted toes, lips red
beneath the surface, work face
cold, chattering teeth

fake grass, rubber earth
inorganic artifice
dead beneath my soles
