MIXED POEMS

Haiku

his termination

the staff asks boss

where he should go next



his secretary's name

in his sleep

wife wakes him up with a slap



she throws

son's black cat out

her paths



she casts

three lines over world

the dream to bring it closer



winter pond

i walk on to touch

the trapped bough

  

it's a blessing

getting to know you

you lift the world's curtain

helping me see the

five billion worlds encased within



mist

the clink of

next-door gate



spike fencing -

a shrivelled leaf

pierced right through



soccer match

the balls swirling

between the legs



wedding -

the only contract that binds

two bodies together



crowded elevator -

all the perfumes that suddenly

turn fetid



remembering his

first complaint - the baby's

kick in the womb



a flock of ducks

quacking, flapping, waddling

partying in a rainstorm lake



tying auntie's hair

round the bed grills for stealing

to the late movie



catching up

a child runs with his little

underpant in his feet



his cool and fresh breath

musculine frame

on these frigid nights

drive me to deep pits

of insecurity, agony
