Here are some haiku I composed at work, back when I used to work in an office.
14 November 2016
strange atmosphere: feet,
pants-clad legs feel equal warmth
(as if both wear tights)
1 July 2016
fleeing steps, mantraps
sweating to the biergarten
reglazing the floor
4 June 2015
oh no, wendigo!
urging me to take a nap
slurping my life force
13 February 2015
flailing whips from wolves
io, Lupercalia!
holy festal flesh
4 December 2014
chapped chafing skin
falling off like dry snowflakes
thrilling bleeding hands
3 December 2014
I
sweater over eyes
warm fingers on pulsing lids
nap like a fetus
II
pushing rolling waves
hidden below oiled sheets
goodnight, water bed!
7 November 2014
knitting with your blood
sweaters for your future young
cozy uterus
22 October 2014
o! a field of meat!
piggies ready for slaughter
my future jamón
19 September 2014
dying chlorophyll
our app returns, brought upon
autumnal breezes
13 August 2014
“ca-caw!” the birds speak
beating wings graze Hamilton
and then flap away
22 July 2014
“thighs”
summer sweat in skirts,
down to absorbent chair foam
in burlap-rough cloth
1 May 2014
“the man”
the man in the wall
watching as you wave to him
“come inside, young man”
