Cloudy

Pregnant, the pillows
sun land’s winter coverall,
hung over city

Scaling heights

Aims hiker for peak
in a solitary climb
as peak to the sky

As honoured authors
storytellers are readers
handing down loved books

Insides hallowed out
as dent in a volcano
barren, you left me

I’m travelling for work, and so for the next few days, I’ll be posting haikus from places I stumble on.

Sandy sunscreen
straw hat of dust
a coat of gravel
covering all
wanders woman
uphill.

Face to the sky
defying weariness
denying defeat
digs feet down
desperate
for peak.

Mean rebel
uncontrolled
know-it-all
unmarried still
questionably so
treks solo.

Runs away
plain after plain
to send back
pain after pain
as parental hopes
finds noose.

Beams wide
atop mountain
brighter than light
from within
comes peace
with freedom.
