violins to your left
low strings
to the right
raise your baton to cue dust-dimmed suns

unlike
us,
she does not
keep it in a
cranium; instead it hangs
in a velvet pouch at her waist where it swings
not far from her dagger hand
and if you ask –
with a smile –
she’ll
show you

The Lucan-no-haiku form is described in a marginal note here. This one is a slight variation taking a mirrored 2-1-3-4-7-11-7-4-3-1-2 syllable count

Was seized with with the need for Pon Farr.
One hand clutching the wheel,
He reached out to feel
For the mind-melding link to OnStar.

Specular reflections

Posted by Rich Magahiz Fri, 20 Jun 2008 01:30:00 GMT

addressing
that sweet abyss:
“yes, yes”

shot full of holes, the substance of our dreams

Sklar, Gibson, and Yong –
their lungs full of
something grey…

floors turn into ceilings (halfway there)

still,
she had to go back…
the smell of burning hair

the purple ones are the girls, I think

there, boy, look!
that nebula there
that was your father

I count the stars; each one flares and dims

he tells her
“put on your other face,
the other”

flecked with hot sauce: angel wings, deep-fried

text, don’t write:
my senses have taken
leave of me

they took a risk. who remembers them?

the loudest prayer
ever said…

and it was answered

sweeping the room clean –
cobalt flesh,
cobalt bones

high in rough seas the dead soul tanker
