2022 01 Haiku

bioluminescent
light under the deep dark sea
in another world

 

night time rituals
brush your teeth, wash your face
endless maintenance

 

productivity
does not define my worth
rest isn’t a reward

 

my skin is a drum
it plays the sounds of my thoughts
puts them in rhythm

 

 

Pockets are too small
To hold anything more than
A tube of chapstick

 

Giving up my legs
I will now be foam, floating
On the sea surface
