five haiku
i.
up in the attic I hammer my wild way out sinking breath by breath
ii.
down the bannister elephant smiles before me blossoms in their trunks
iii.
releasing my debts those heavy rocks I carry freedom’s face appears
iv.
go down far enough a foreign land emerges original mind
v.
my thirst a mirage at the well I need not drink plum tree overhead
