It is not with the lyre of someone in love that I go seducing people. The rattle of the leper is what sings in my hands. Jane Kenyon

A Haiku To Make Your Day High

One Umbrella

And if I had a second left,
or a million too few,
I know I would live it
in one instant,
if only, with you.
from Beyond A Certain Point
by Daren Shiau

in my dreams, we hug
I wake, find my pyjamas
wearing your contours

the whole universe
is one umbrella, beneath
just the two of us

you walk past a stream
eddies clamour to mirror
your diamond dimples

ring on fourth finger
like belt on middle age waist
the sparkle, teenage

i read your letter
then run fingers over lines
read what my eyes missed
