Haiku ~ June ~ July ~ August ~ 03

Fleet nimble feet touch
The earth lightly leaving no
Trace on time's sand.

***************


To unite with the
Godhead is not my great wish.
All grass blades hum hymns.

*****************

Styles of closure may
Vary. Commentary, thanks
Be to God, moves on.

*****************

Know dead center of
Life's river a grain of sand
Is riding the gale.

*****************

I see, you say, but
Do you when all is said and
Done? Blind is the light.

******************

Hit the delete key,
Say done and feel closure. Where
Is last winter's snow?

********************

The dialectic
Does not solve conflicts. Tensions'
Pain propels onward.

********************

Museums filled with
Rusty locks. Keys stored away.
The hearts of the rich.

*********************

Chance presides over
Loosing and winning. Grace does
Not here interfere.

*************************

This is a very
Hard saying to understand.
Light a match and burn.

*************************

God is severe and
Benign wishing the best for
His children at times.

***************************

Memory, mother
Of all the Muses, reminds
Us not to forget.

**************************

Computer logic
Spells democracy's secret.
All zeros count.

**************************

You're spinning the thread.
Others will do the weaving.
Penelope waits.

*********************

Welcome home, he'll say
When I knock at the door. A
Gap marks the threshold.

***************************

Words make laws and wars
While cheap consolation hides
Ferocity's facts.

**************************

Some dancers give form
To movement in time and save
It from the abyss.

**************************

Dance arabesques move
Across voids where the rapids
Of time do not flow.

**************************

Leda's swan sports two
Sets of wings. One to constrain
And one to fly high.

*********************

One rape. Double twins.
Castor and Pollux . Helen
And Clytemnestra.

**********************

Ignominy is
Glory's other face as joy
Is of deep sorrow.


**********************

Dear Lord
To you I pray
And hope that you one day,
One evening, not far off
Will smile at me and
Say:
Dear child once gone astray
Come home now newly clothed
In timelessness' array. Obey.
The night gives way to light
Get up and stay.

*********************

Sophia Loren
In Leda's role: Would she want
To say no to Zeus?

*************************

Women give birth in
No man's land. The fatherland
Then owns the children.

*************************

In the stalemate of
Law's and Poverty's might:
Exasperation.

***********************

(Die Setzung ist die
Satzung. Der Streit ist zwischen
Der Not and dem Recht.)

************************

Goethe's elves know to
Bring ease to saints and sinners
In Faust two, act one.

*************************

Goethe's elves do not
Judge but carry afflictions.
Simone, keep smiling!
