Haiku by Svetlana Marisova
|
the choices
not so clear now ...
twilight |
|
lonely vigil ...
colour draining away
with her |
|
gray morning ...
fog digesting
the sun |
|
before dawn -
stretching into silence
with words |
|
autumn dusk ...
an angel of light
casts a shadow |
|
red poppies -
the stain of innocence
remains |
|
final vows -
putting all my eggs
in one basket |
|
the tiger
eyes its stripes -
harvest moon |
|
dewdrops ignite
for the rising sun ...
morning mist |
|
final act -
facing the death scene
without a script |
|
distant echoes ...
I learn the lines
of loss |
|
star-crossed lovers ...
they entangle
their lines |
|
candlelight
strutting in a dewdrop
centre-stage |
|
the sun
still entombed ...
morning dew |
|
dewdrops
hidden from view -
morning rain |
|
this thirst
longing to be slaked -
warm beer |
|
empty cross -
love splintering
on the earth |
|
stillness -
the apple decaying
on the tree |
|
Good Friday -
the transformation
still to come |
|
autumn night
unfolding before my eyes
from nothing |
|
|
my image
two inches behind
your eyes |
|
last supper -
the pledge of love
in this cup |
|
holy week -
the wall still wailing
in prayer |
|
whispers of words
written on subway walls -
sound of silence |
|
distant sounds
splashing within
each word |
|
overnight rain -
even our differences
wash away |
|
goosebumps -
the caress of the unknown
in his breath |
|
rustling leaves ...
the infinite silence
in these words |
|
stillness ...
the coolness of air
on my skin |
|
waxing moon ...
the longing that
cycles back |
|
the big bang's
ejaculation of stars -
moonless night |
|
the still point
of a still turning world ...
Easter dance |
|
the twinkle
in his parent's eyes ...
birthday candles |
|
spring renewal -
expanding its horizons,
a hermit crab |
|
autumn burial ...
the ripening of seed sown
in darkness |
|
full moon ...
Taranaki's hidden glow
awakening |
|
autistic child -
the coffin she renames
a boat |
|
waning moon
also awake
beyond dawn |
|
ahh rainbow!
the light passing
through me |
|
rush hour ...
a crow picks the universe
from roadkill eyes |
|
new moon ...
yearning for the light
that consumes her
|
|
summer dreams ...
the night thick with
datura |
|
spring fever ...
she forgets to wear
underwear |
|
thunder ...
still this birth
resonates

first light ...
out of the shadows

summer sweetness -
half a worm wriggles
at the core |

distant thunder -

... dead?

|
winter silence --
music attains perfection
within |
|
wintry blast
parting breath from the breather
with a gun |
|
bitter morning -
in the hawk's talons
a rabbit's shriek |
|
summer night -
moths ride the vortex
above a candle |
|
neglected no longer
the cactus drives home
its point |
|
summer surf -
within its sound
I am sea |
|
Christmas ...
all that he is
he gives |
|
end of year
so many leaves
still to turn |
|
thistledown -
my thoughts come to rest
on a wooden cross |
|
summer hangi -
the heat of ancestral rocks
cooks our kai |
|
new year -
still the tides sculpt
ancient rock |
|
lunar eclipse --
his mother out of sight
for a moment |
|
lingering mists
part for a driven wedge —
geese in formation |
|
