I have loved you in
#slapdash
ways— unsweetened coffee, mumbled apologies and goodbyes, Valentine’s Day card without a note. Not that I care less— but you leave me tongue-tied adrift, undone.

The targets were big enough, but the new weapons needed calibrating. As soon as they fixed those problems, practically every target would be
#unmissable
. At least, that was the hope. The Enemy were notorious for adapting to weapons and tactics and the advantage may well not last for long.

Please forgive me for posting an "educational" haiku. (I promise NOT to make a habit of it!) Rhyme

with the word "dismissible?" Impermissible!

The city wakes with no regrets To grinding roar of garbage trucks And the smell of coffee and cigarettes Street lamps clicking off in sync, the marching of a million feet While on the sidewalk, the morning news— poor
#missable
thing.

hope this road leads to nowhere; hope it delivers, somehow, peace of mind… in the distance, yet more bends; each turn becomes a new friend.

When the
#delivery
boy enters, she remembers a knife in the kitchen with dried blood. Maybe it’s thirsty. He hands her a pen to sign, and a few drops of blood fall from its tip. Depraved lyrics play in her head, and suddenly she's holding the knife, but the boy is gone.

Behind the Odd Deliverables store, she found a tin can, with 2 eye holes & a slanted mouth that matched her mood, so she placed it in her basket and biked home. She hid it from her parents under her bed, but at night she painted it purple flowers & a yellow sun, hoping it would feel better.

He opened the glass door in his chest but found only a ball of twine, and he remembered when she had floated out of reach, spinning, color and sound colliding, as she lost all sense of self. He couldn’t offer the warmth of his heart but he could keep her tethered.

Oh thankless December You stand there at the end of the line With your list of reminders The coulda-woulda-shouldas and regrets And I, with my bowed head and slumped shoulders— Forgive me, December For I missed your quiet

We don’t need to share blades of grass to walk side by side. Fear and desire dress us in the same tattered masks. Your fingertips find my scars, and, beneath your soft gaze I lie
#unadorned
. You give me your pale blues and caged crimsons, and we bloom in a new shade of pain.

In that quiet, at midnight, the day after Christmas, distant barking of a dog to the north, its echo to the south, from the hills. An owl on a rooftop, softly hooting, and the
#symphony
of chimes in the wind.
