a flat earth

interior monologue

blithely
mirrored by

a pendulum
swinging

its
day moon

from the lips
of indecision

a leaf left

just one path

after the wind
leaves

without parallel

not much
else

in
obscurity

a puff

original sin

of reverie

recollected

out
of the blue

in
tranquility

all alone

a silent
music

within
the alone

breaches
the soundscape

all of us

tone by
tone

another year
ends

parallel
lines

the wheels
of a train
derailed

unmet
at infinity

keep spinning
this one-track

mind

at first
gasp

fulfilment

the clay
figurine

for the
time being

pants
for more

is
breathless

before dawn

stillborn day

enlightenment
awakens

a cockroach scuttles

to a drone attack

from the glare

breathless
light

time
after time

manifesting
the unseen

I fail
to pass under

through
my eyes

the rainbow's
arch

clouding
over

a salamander

a moment's
infused

has laid
its eggs

contemplation

in
my mind's eye

day in
day out

in one breath

the cosmic
evolution

the missing link

of
estrangement

unearthed

deep night vigil

sounds within

a flightless bird

the sounds without

rises within

something slips
in-between

flitter-winged

in a blink

a butterfly beyond

the beginning of time

our here & now

pinpointed

late cold snap

more than an echo

each breath becoming

the morepork
foreshadowing

what it's not

my near absence

Otaki Beach

mythic chant

the cosmic silence

stillness roaming about

roaring within words

lonely places

​​piecing
together

haiku path

the edges
of the universe

from
juxtaposition

man
and wife

to conjunction

rain
on me

reign
in me

breath
breathing

te Wairua
o te Atua

water
springing

i runga i te kare
o nga wai

at dead low water  

where meaning lies 

and distance ends  

rising sun

fat man's

Icarus
self-destructs

critical mass
vaporises

over
Hiroshima

Nagasaki

rosary vigil

quite unnoticed

rattling through
the mysteries

in Breughel's
Icarus

she lived for

it was spring

star shadows

your now

once dwelt
amongst

is not

together

my now

the art of haiku boils down to this

shadows

a toothless old man

emerging
from the fog

sucking marrow

while light dies

from the skeleton
of words

the less
said

of this

without words
which have

no memory

no echoes

know me

the pain

borne
for us

our
daily bread

broken
for us

rolls out

wafer thin

through
our dreams

mystery
visitation

an atmospheric
river

the ark
of the covenant

levels the highs
& lows

overturns
all expectations

to be

not to be

traces
of swan-glide

a tomorrow

slashed in water

that never ends

vespers with

ancient chants

breath wisps of

conjuring faith

aspirations

in my own tongue

visitation

seek stillness
wanton fly

the second
decade

our being together
is not to be

flown through

a contact sport

where hitherto

stay-at-home

words of consecration

my carbon footprint

cannot go

leaves none

winter ends

lingering darkness

my wisps
of words

magpies question

to clouds,
a bird

the dawn chorus

wolf hour

drizzle-drench day

black swans
drift between

cold
cuts in keener

sleep
and non-sleep

than a sword

words
which embody

a universe

our
very selves

edging to the precipice

in screams
of nowness

where words
wave back
