wind blowing, fiercely lifting
my spirit on high

Tarot cards and beads
Crosses, stars, holy water
All hopeless nonsense
What’s spiritual?
When it’s 98 outside,
Air-conditioning!
I hear a bird singing
the song spirals toward heaven
and falls on my ear.
There is hope in here
In asking and receiving.
Jellies give us hope.
On snow, snow falling,
In this silence -
I am.
Taneda SantÅka (1882 – 1940)
Heed the poet’s words
In heartache can be beauty
Rumi gives us hope
School is almost done
I will leave behind this scum
Then I will be glad
Tonight, the Full Moon
Dance, drink, copulate and praise!
Receive Satan’s boon!
The humming pot
of once boiling soup
sits cool and still
Jellies fluther by
Floating words in question marks
Sharks wondering why
Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don’t make sense
Refrigerator
I am your Santa
Just keep following the bunch.
Dominic is cool.
This was a surreal haiku my friend’s younger brother texted me late at night while in a half-awake/half-asleep state. He didn’t remember coming up with it at all. Might not be spiritual, but it perplexed me quite a bit. How can someone not remember writing a haiku, especially one that’s semi-coherent? It even has the exact right amount of syllables…
Ooh mountain you are so big
The wind doth blow around the nether regions
I feel compelled to go ride a pig
Pork chops anyone?
dancing wildly
oscillating through the air
dog hair on my shirt
This wart on my hand
Can’t seem to decide whether
It’s me or not me.
