Delighted to have 15 of my Haiku published in Issue 22 of Die Leere Mitte Journal from Berlin, Germany. My thanks to the editors.

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
