Haiku
Inam Hussain Begg Mullick
1.
cloud and sun theatre
day long, then night invites old
dreams—the wind's dark feet.
2.
soft cities unfold
with blue towers and minarets—
night's rife manuscripts.
3.
florid amphitheatre;
lunate afterimages
of arcane lips.
4.
the wine of time's flame
in galactic libraries—
parrots' tremolo
5.
clocks strike a memory,
a shock of blue roses
serenades winter.
6.
the lithesome leaf’s pulse—
our amorphous curlicue,
blithe earth, no ado
7.
decrescendo drunk,
mystical, tender graces,
breaths—our dreams dovetail.
8.
lithographic flowers
enhance the room—the radio
is air's carpentry.
9.
woven textures of the dawn
embrace the dreaming swans—
winter's blue boats.
10.
cordate fishermen
in illumined crescendo,
moonlight, lions, viola.
