light-house beam—
a lenten reflection
without words
February 2018
summer night
crickets go quiet
at his passing
Kaneko Tohta ( died 20 February 2018)
mimicked theme
may every meme
make me, me
greatness fossil-fuelled by terracide
slow death on the installment plan
autumn testament
turned over and over
a leaf's afterlife
the deceased
in the photograph
also smoking
twilight sounds . . .
my haiku's stillbirth
cuts to the quick
morning mass
i make my peace
with stillness
summer grasses
i fall out of step
with my breath
stillborn words
unmarked graves enfold
a mute silence
blackberrying a human stain
without a second thought an ar-15
without a second thought the nra
without a second thought platitudes
wheel spokes of ar-15s
a circle of ar-15s shoot at the centre
an ar-15 shoots off its mouth
right to mouth off the nra
an ar-15 because i can
open carry platitudes poured on tap
life you're fired
morning constitutional right to kill
nra empowering your inner darkness since 1871
another round of spent shells of prayers and condolences
