Die Leere Mitte – Issue 22 – WEISSES WERK (wordpress.com)

HAIKU
field mouse climbs wheat stem
eats modified genome seeds
cereal killer
driving desert road
algebra taking us to stars
moon resting on dune
turning wheel of time
paddle steamboat roaming down
the Mississippi
autumn leaves swirl
into derelict buildings
spirals of decay
apple blossom scent
in magical flute music
opens closed doors
midnight lake moonlight
ripples on the water’s skin
selkie’s seeking love
black beetle crawling
on fresh cut grass
i stop my footsteps
abducted onto
interplanetary craft
more missing persons
holding rosary beads
in touch with God
forming stars and planets
lightning blasting trees
bombed bodies and buildings
no change in the world
to defeat dragon
mouse tunnels into his ear
capturing his mind
white deer in forest
hears the hunter taking aim
death gun implodes
rabbit out on road
paralysed by headlights
fast car hits a tree
her longing served
pale harvest moon
drifts the other way
misfit mist and moon
her porcelain complexion
imitating snow
