ENCOUNTERING FORM: A few Modern Haiku by Raul Sanchez

 

A Few Modern Haiku

every night
we ascend
to sleep

 

at three AM
I can hear
fish breathe

 

many headless
naked rubber flesh
second hand barbies

 

perfumed memories
trapped in the fishnet
of desire

 

full moon bright
distant howl
thinking of Ginsberg

 

jeans faded
along with
my youth

 

words tattooed
only the paper
knows its weight

 

wooden floor creeks
I can still smell her cigarette

 

Kavorkian
departed
un-assisted

 

saturday morning
lawnmower symphony
early dream cut
