Body of Water, Haikus 1–11/52
--
To the water’s edge
deep dive into the water
underwater, breathe
1/52
Went to other world
deep breath along rocks to edge
dance the precipice
2/52
Trip to the ocean
winter you will be alone
safe in crash of waves
3/52
Faraway city
delivered as waking dream
strive until the last
4/52
Walk along hot sands
we know our destination
ocean reveals us
5/52
Slip into the ice
pulse hurries along the melt
waft away as steam
6/52
Steady in high wind
roots embrace the cold dark seep
stand tall where night falls
7/52
Disarray of days
clarifies in winter cold
walk quiet, and see
8/52
In depths of seeking
looking back, wanting closed eyes
rush towards water
9/52
Let the mystery
be still, close your eyes, and rest
less will be the way
10/52
In the air, a hint
cooler, salty, deeper breaths
always find the sea
11/52
