the lost haiku: ben

can you tell the truth?
manipulative. liar.
scarred at birth by loss.

the gard'ner

i kill them today
the tulips plotting escape
from me, the gard'ner

balance lost

balance lost have i
forward rush to habit old
this doing stop must

winter sleep

it's past ash wednesday.
comes the end of winter sleep.
february done.

advent of hope

november. the soul,
at rest, watches and awaits
at last, the advent

religious fanatic

like noah, I will be saved
come the flood. I know.

hate, smears, half-truths, lies,
fear of the wrath of rapture...
where is love?... of God?
