A Lullaby for a Silent Presence (a haiku triptych)
what remains unsaid holds the truest weight
rewritten letter ...
the evening rain
blots the ink
opening petals ...
a dawn replaces
friend's silence
chipped mug ...
steam swirls upward
with his secret
the evening rain
blots the ink
opening petals ...
a dawn replaces
friend's silence
chipped mug ...
steam swirls upward
with his secret
Where Breath Waits (a haiku triptych)
the present is not a moment – it is the quiet that holds all moments
child's drawing …
a pink cloud carries
laughter
pale afterlight …
a deer gives way to
the girl's question
silent breeze …
the crow's cry veils
half of the moon
Toys of Moonlit Dreams (a haiku triptych)
where stars and toys weave dreams as one
trembling stars ...
those faint stories
of her doll
moonlit dreams ...
a teddy bear listens
to child's pulse
shadowed night …
a tin soldier marches
to the mum's lullaby
City in Mid‑Signal
the light edges in
like a slow exhale between
two buildings
and the map
we never draw
flickers
at the margin
of billboard constellations
as if the city were
trying
to communicate with us –
to communicate with us –
lacewings
drawn thin and stripped of all sensing
