Haiku Train

[Suzanne]

this hive is moving
it's a humming energy
looking for release.

[oranggunung]

Looking for release,
the captive, trafficked children
did as they were bid.

[Suzanne]

did as they were bid
a tid bit id diddly,
pocketing their quid.

[Raisin]

Pocketing their quid,
they met carnivorous squid,
and stayed for dinner.

[Gazelle]

and stayed for dinner
and wanted to stay longer
of course I miss you.

[Raisin]

Of course I miss you,
but that restraining order
keeps me far away.

[Suzanne]

keeps me far away
but under the twinkling stars
and a smiling moon.

[Suzanne]

and a smiling moon,
high above my clay feet winks;
I pretend it's you.

[PhilipCFJohnson]

I pretend it's you.
I know you don't really care.
I'll just make believe.

[Suzanne]

I'll just make believe
you are not so far away,
but standing right here.

[Travis]

...but standing right here
it all becomes so very
trivial. luv u.

[Suzanne]

"trivial. luv u."
is not what I expected,
life is full of twists.

[paisley]

life is full of twists
so it's best if you can dance
I'll take off my boots.

[Suzanne]

I'll take my boots off
I'll take your boots off, too,
a great place to start.

[paisley]

a great place to start
is looking in the mirror
into your own eyes.

[Travis]

Into your own eyes
goes the very sun you swore
you would evade, Tom.

[arunansu]

you would evade, Tom
the middle-aged monsoon
gravity of trees

[arunansu]

gravity of trees
discarded appendages --
sparrow takes a flight

[arunansu]

sparrow takes a flight
rests upon a bough
beside her window

[Suzanne]

beside her window
hollowly sits a glass bowl;
the phone rings silent.

[oranggunung]

the phone rings silent
chimes swallowed by wallpaper
now I hear my breath

[arunansu]

now I hear my breath
a flower vase tumbles
in a sudden breeze

[arunansu]

in a sudden breeze
I hear the echoes
of lost words

[arunansu]

of lost words
lost springs
lost leaves

[arunansu]

lost leaves
to be resurrected
in a fresh spring
