Irma

five haiku

Eye of hurricane Irma — source

Eye of the storm sees
only itself, considers
nothing outside one

Limited scope of
intense focus, there is no
existence past now

Nothing else to do
except bear down, force outwards
and yet, innards show

The very center
of this swirling vortex, death’s
hand of destruction

Calmest point exists
where skies contract, throat opens —
Even storms inhale
