Pick up phone, hang up ·
discard message, draft another ·
confused, lover
White-purple flowers
White-purple flowers ·
leaning towards me, whispering ·
he’s showing up soon
Time now, time later
Time now, time later ·
two lovers in timelessness ·
spiritual permanence
Beauty, visible
Beauty, visible ·
hard to tell much more so soon ·
being human
The bigger the despair
“The bigger the despair ·
the lower set the standards” ·
so the woman next table
Take no cruelty
Take no cruelty ·
from those who do not love you ·
but try to give love
–Becket: Haikus: for the One Who Needs Them… (2015)
Deep sadness
Deep sadness ·
of a longing not fulfilled ·
snap—hope and happiness?
Feet crossed
Feet crossed ·
minds drifting, seeking company ·
lonely subway ride
Pulling you closer
Pulling you closer ·
closer and tighter ·
joyful the moment
How strong is your love
How strong is your love ·
your commitment, devotion ·
lost in thoughts
