POEM: Lost Cities

lost city
buried in
time
by
jungle

someday
your metropolis
will be
crumbled
&
overgrown

but we’ve
forgotten
how to
forget

all that is known
is locked away
&
shot into space
a call
to the heavens

but forgetting
is a laudable skill
&
therapeutic, too

A Few Haiku

sniffing mouse
waggles its sniffing nose
turns & retreats

 

cheep-cheep
baby bird calling
no answer

 

steaming coffee
lazy tendrils
curl idly

 

overcast
Prague skies above
faux winter
