2024 03 Haiku

restless
pacing back and forth
trapped inside this very small space
a caged animal

perfume
overwhelming scent
makes me nauseous and dizzy
it crushes my brain

français
a new language learned
each new word fighting for space
inside my full mind

script
practice in my head
all the words I want to say
find the right order

carrot
growing underground
green leaves reaching for the sun
crispy orange flesh

wind
the tall uncut grass
urban prairie of neglect
billows on the breeze
