coeurrclaté (in haiku series)

dodging bullets is
surely hard when you're a loud cloud
sounding thunder sounds

unlaughing skyly
highly going on believe
me when i tell you

nothing makes sense now
how confusing i have been
i will never win

with you i was it
and with them i was something
else i could have been

with me i was now
and with myself died
and became anew

i know the answer
hanging onto my ego
playing my mouth harp

confronting myself
with me for my defenses
whipping i senseless

i can only hang
to branches of lonely trees
until they collapse

my knees touch the ground
but i'm still high in the sky
always hanging on
