October '21

Shove me into mirthful dance
Make me a man, story-less
Until my body, grave-claimed is tamed
And my name in love's flame is ashes.

Haiku I

Our silent romance
Conceived of stolen glances
Gasps hope, drowns in time

Haiku II

With children and bikes
Columbus' spirit still sails
In quiet neighborhoods.

Fear around corners
And adventure found beyond
Fuels wheels dizzily.
