with a start

the first haiku

of the month

that above!

is that the limit

of dreams?

summer dreams:

all that remains

not yet grey

her slip ...

the susurrus

of her lips

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

ordinary time:

I bite into the death

that sustains me

writing

into a winter night

headless chickens

drone whine:

is this too

a song?

slug slime

the daily examen

of my path

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

losing flavour

all the salt licked

from my wounds

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

all the trees

tucking elegies

into dark wings

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

so few words

how much of all this

can they take?

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

the silence:

school bells tolling

early death

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

more than one

nail holes hammered through

tree shadows

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

a bell tolls

in sympathy

with its age

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

climate change

a butterfly

somewhere

a haiku yet

after successive

resoundings

her sari

coiling the wormhole

of our origin

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

frost after noon

the scent of otherness

closes around

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

what is this

that seeps through the gaps

in the chant?

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

baby babble . . .

neon words crawl across

an urban sprawl

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

screw loose sir?

a hooker's invitation

into madness

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

silver-tongued dawn

a hatchling opens its eyes

to the world's edge

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

dead-end street

autumn and winter

face to face

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

first quarter

moons bud-swelling

her blouse

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

exposing

layer on layer

old sea levels

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

rebel yell

Groucho dusts off

his manifesto

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

word by word

a new beginning

with each sound

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

earth shadow

a swinging voter

darkens the poll

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

encircling me

the hiss

of her eyes

Details: Written by: Stephen Bailey

sky map app

I end the universe

with a swipe
