On my back with mouth agape
Breathing made harder by her movements.
I do my best and swallow straight
Wanting nothing but to please my dentist.
Haiku Set

Innocuous poison
Triggered
Blood turned black.
Happiness attacked
Saddened
Abandoned hopes.
1208
Green Tulip canopy
Weathered hands cut a delicate pepper
Cicada orchestra.
Pink, soft, curving couch
Fresh brownies are tasted together
A spice that lingers.
1177
In lonely silence
Swirling vultures strike
A feast for days.
Numbed by pain
Determination falters
Darkness seeps.
In crushing pause
Love surrounds me
Accepting breath.
1155
After the sun sets
When dreams fill the world
My mind lingers…
Past lightning fields
Across orange groves
In alabaster castles.
