Haiku – haiku and other animals

medicine in silence. The sufficient light from the moon

those mottoes hatched in the dark of your secret castle

over the strangers’ sarcophagi the sea argues with itself

raindrops trying not to stub my toe though I love poetry

late bare tree rain again counting the dog’s nipples

in your mouth but only for a minute the moonlit trees

by the time you hit the ground your teeth filed to points

press one for a reverse Anne Sexton or continue to hold

no one may guess
how old
rat in the city

describe it one more as time I bite blue from the night
