House of Seven Veils
A so-so haiku
is a sad thin frail thing
lies there lumpy, lame
It’s not just gumballs
and fruit juice, not all Pepsi
and popcorn but pain
It’s seep and creep weep
down to one cup of coffee
and no tokes of grass
Ghosts in the drop cloth
with holes hanging out of place
life unrolled, unplayed
Life, leaf, sun, season
these four of seven veils
link all lives to one
They say not doing
is doing in distant done
singing song unsung
Done’s but distant dream
it’s doing that’s the essence
trying is my scheme

Do you realize you’re bald on top? Thought I’d let you know.
I love your haikus…
