haiku september three

cool and rainy morn'

we were gonna play tennis

we'll go to breakfast

. . . [9/10/23]

. . .

he sounds like he's here

coughing inside of our house

it's like he's right here

. . . [9/11/23]

. . .

it's cool but it's hot

i can feel the weight of heat

i prefer the heat

. . . [9/11/23]

. . .

it's nine eleven

we stood still or ran that day

holy shit that day

. . . [9/11/23]

. . .

you know where you were

you know before and after

even if not near

. . . [9/11/23]

. . .

i always transgress

i'll have a drink or stay up

it never feels good

. . . [9/12/23]

. . .

it's time to free me

it's time to really know it

i know what to do

. . . [9/12/23]

. . .

drinking is poison

and i feel it more and more

it's not good for me

. . . [9/12/23]

. . .

even a little

changes my whole perspective

just a little sad

. . . [9/12/23]

. . .

please help me through this

please help me have some grace here

just trust youself

. . . [9/12/23]

. . .

you have all you need

no need to look for more

now get rid of some

. . . [9/12/23]

. . .

i am lost again

maybe this isn't lost though

maybe this is found

. . . [9/12/23]

. . .

morning sit is best

the quiet, the birds, the air

what's next is later

. . . [9/13/23]

. . .

put forth your effort

or you don't get to say much

do some to say more

. . . [9/14/23]

. . .

you've got to do some

something to at least get by

but what if i don't

. . . [9/14/23]

. . .

my default is not

maybe that's a defense mech

or maybe it's just true

. . . [9/14/23]

. . .

what if you just don't

what if we all just don't, huh

then what will happen

. . . [9/14/23]

. . .

i have been chosen

finally, a piece of art

feels nice to get "yes"

. . . [9/14/23]

. . .

saturday is good

i'm off, and he's off, that's good

we'll go play tennis

. . . [9/16/23]

. . .

what do you do, off?

is it a good thing for you?

i hope it is good

. . . [9/16/23]

. . .

ok! let's go play

it really is just some play

i do like to laze

. . . [9/16/23]

. . .

. . .

this week feels like years ago. strange how that can happen. life goes on as it goes. i am good. chugging along. making art. writing. looking for different day job. hoping for good things for all. peace. quiet. what you like, i hope you get. living is weird. strange. fun. hectic. aggrivating. trying. so i try. for peace. to let go. to just address and move forward. with grace. peace. fun. some joy.

thanks for reading! -- kory
