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
