The universe must be a teenage girl. So much darkness, so many stars.
--me


Waking water moons

child roses, dark calyxes blooming

shadows in my sun—

 

shadows in my sun

fetid pools circle mirrors

in my two night eyes

 

in my two night eyes

across the street from myself

looking in windows

 

looking in windows

boarded windows of locked houses

I am the locked house

 

I am the locked house

latched away from everyone

but a tidal rose.


The author's comments:

This is an experimental haiku format in which the last line of each stanza is the first line of the proceeding one.
