blitz-fast chords
and screams of anarchy
refresh my weary spirit
grey, asphalt river
rambles onward — up ahead:
haze shrouded mountains
chipped green metal case
in the bottom of the
toolbox… waiting…
the smell of old steel
brings precious memories of
my father’s workshop
the grey sky
presses down with unfulfilled
expectations
under fluorescent glow:
white walls and white boxes
sanitize the mind
darting blossom to
blossom, the green streak pauses
to contemplate me
encircled by
photographic masterpieces…
feeling small
walking to the car,
crimson-leaf-crunch muted by
the cold autumn rain
you stand. fake smile.
fix your hair. wait. wait.
Flash. breath. moving on.
big black headphones
pipe joy into your brain–
soundlessly, you dance and sing
at the desk, gaze
locked on the screen — wrapped-up
against the cold
Green Day blaring in
my ears — a grey salt fog rolls in
over the sea bluffs.
white squares and black text
swim in front of glazed eyes…
remember to breath…
writing at my desk,
I glance up: orange and black
wings on a blue sky
chill autumn breeze
whips through the trees;
chimes in the distance
Haiku-A-Day is a project by me, Matthew Bendert, designed, first and foremost, to give me a darn good reason to write each and every day. As the name of the site implies, I’m planning on publishing at least one haiku per day for the next six months (starting in early October 2009). I’ll be publishing all my own work, in a few different media, trying my best to keep to a consistent schedule and plan ahead when I’m going on vacation. In the mean time, I better get to it.
