The Man With No Tongue Pt. 4

The Haiku Sessions
A selection of 8 haiku.

-------------------------------------
Learning, Stealing, Surviving

Silence swallows whole
Disturbingly short temper
Gentle thief snickers

-------------------------------------
Tongueless smile

Missing piece, smile
Wit condemned to purgatory
Insistent burden

-------------------------------------
Mystery Love

Incandescent skin
Touched by rough leather fingers
shocked awakening

-------------------------------------
Freedom "tastes" Better

Going hungry, lost
Seen falling down the mountain
Beats behind four walls

-------------------------------------
Tendencies Amiss

tomorrow at noon
he doesn't belong here, man!
and he will abstain

-------------------------------------
Lost in Communication

Encore! Encore! Yeah!
he wrote the street musician
though they couldn't read

-------------------------------------
Speaking in Tongues

Everybody's 'round
Everybody talks true sound
Pen and notepad bound

-------------------------------------
Elements

Living near water
also by fire and smokewhiskey keeps him warm
