ignorant
*pomo haiku


If it were up to


me, your ignorance 


Would be buried dead


*Post Modern




why do you only call at night


Dirty dishwater gives

nothing back

No reflection at all


Grief kept knocking at

the midnight door

I open it 


While black crows 

blended into black 

velvet sky


I say the “Silence is

annihilating.”  

“It bruises blue.”


You say “What’s

your point?”

As other Fathers


and Daughter gather

together one last

time


Who robbed who?

It was not easy

not to envy


It felt familiar

to have your 

mouth moving


I wish I could

go back, bend

and kiss 


All that demolishes 

me In the in

betweens


Like the night

not needing any

stars




universe playing tarot cards


Swimming through the 

Gray of the clouds

Trying to find the bright 

Smile of the moon

To cradle her 


Reaching up for strength 

Facing cracks in the

Mirror reflecting back 

Serrating her blue veins

Dripping red death teardrops


Blowing luminous bubbles 

Bursting with confetti

Raining down on lovers 

Lying next to each other 

Naked in the dark forest


While the voyeur hermit

Watching through the

Broken window like

His broken heart


Faintly hearing the

Siren song of the high

Priestess she used to be


The magician mending her

Torn wind of a wing

She was flying high 

In art that has no limit


Praying that the 

Universe would

Break the patriarch

Snaking around

Her tongue with

Crushing judgement


Startled in delight

Standing on top of

The world in all her

Bodacious gory glory
