Ten haikus (enclosed)

I.

Between you

           & me

a hurricane

always lurking.

II.

Across the atmosphere

words unspoken

floating.

III.

And stanzas

in my hands

have been long dying.

IV.

Through the open window

the broken window

a room to be viewed.

V.

Two hands

in

one;

VI.

who’s awaiting

whom

tonight?

VII.

Numbers

and verses

I’ve been counting.

VIII.

The vase on the

room’s corner

fading.

IX.

Uneasy eyes

foreground

and background.

X.

You

& me:

a hurricane.
