Haikus

Updated: Oct 30


Before the Charles—

building lights drift from your eyes:

faces are all dark.



She wants me to look

at her. I peel the sun: a

cat laps up her blush.



Port Authority:

while I piss, you wait for me;

rust buses drive out.



Cicadas above;

the brushing leaves of my mind:

forgetting to eat.


She brings me tea while

magpies hop upon the sill;

Arthur’s Seat looks down.
