rancid, greedy teeth rip and rip while once-fresh abundance spoils too quickly to recover

A haiku about the long, slow, internal battle some of fight day to day:

“The monster today is an ancient millstone”

tethered to my waist,
pulling, pulling. relentless.
how long can I fight?

Not sure where this haiku came from today, I feel the words more than I understand them at present:

“Once upon a time, kinship came easily, but”

sometimes, stories lie.
curses, illuminated,
sever solid ties.

Today’s #lovenote on a coffee mug 🥰

Alexis Florentina @exisflor.bsky.social · 4d

How my brain and body feels this week. Not quite a haiku, but I tried for something honest:

“I have not worked twice as hard (I don’t think), though”

maybe that’s self-hate
talking too much.
I’m just tired. So tired.

A haiku about divisions, consequences and honesty:

“You crossed the lines and wonder why”

fear pools in our eyes.
“we want more than to survive,”
you say…we do too.

A haiku for a life cycle that keeps on giving:

“The cliff edge calls, but so do the bees,”

who, with their ancient
knowledge of flowers, still grow
life relentlessly.

A haiku for anyone discovering new places behind old, locked doors:

“With a little oil on the hinges,”

an old door relents,
sliding open, brand new bones,
a room smiles awake.

A haiku for anyone tapping out and recovering today:

“The bed and nothing more”

let words fall apart
silent spells far from the fray
rest rest rest rest rest

A haiku about why good progress seems to be moving so slowly…

“I’m thinking about The Beatitudes, but I’m also thinking”

dead air doesn’t move
good things spoken suffocate
so don’t say a word

A haiku for anyone who’s tired from all the noise, but is still doing their best to resist and hope:

“Amidst this calamitous onslaught, maybe we should look”

away from pointing
fingers. towards each other.
and embrace instead?
