JAPANESE SHORT FORMS MIXED

Folder: 
Haiku

what a match -

both ask why

the other has not married



fat burners -

burning a hole

in my bank account



i say kiss goodbye

and notice the lipstick

on the mouthpiece



to the death chamber

a swarm of ants pull at

a still moving cockroach



water fountain

the sprinkles trailS

against the wind



scattered rain

driving from a storm

into bright sunshine



pissing at

his own face

pissing into river



summer heat...

all day on the beach

for that tan of the year



helping him

with his infedility problem

slicing it off



at the deaf centre

my own sign language

that works



seventh lunar month

roadside flickering candles

sowing ghosts the way



pounding rice

to exciting chirps

winnowing





after the tide

the waves

play a different tuneat



the pachinko

the tiny balls

rattling off boredom



first japanese summer

such heat, such mind

drowsing heat, i even fear

to sleep for fear

i may not rise again



i saw her cry

at the window the second morn

dad was buried -

sghing and panting

the clock chimed for his breakfast



his boks spick and span

his aura shines from them

transmiting his love to me

his admiration

for my neatness
