monobun haibun prose+haiku hybrid poems


Dereliction...

is somewhere between violet and green—if the colour doesn’t lie—that connects us; we are really not infinity, but you left me, you destroyed my pale heart, and a coffee, left unsaid, and unanswered.
 
 
rambling journey
I become a trifold
of my past
 

after Claude Monet, 
from a letter to Paul Cézanne

It's the small things...

that count, and I read that they too will die, the unknown and unseen insects who befriend roses, on the window ledges of prisons.
 
 
mosaic rain:
the cul de sac
of shadow
 

after Sylvia Plath

The uncertainity principle...

is something that haunts so many of us just starting out on life, hovering just beyond the periphery of parental constraints, where we fly or fall on a single smile, and…

blustering wind 
does she really love me 
dandelion?


after Heisenberg
