haiku

eyes down, collar up / 
shearing headwinds cut the pace / 
woe, I can’t turn back 

#川柳

the journey is long / 
peril awaits every turn / 
alas, ‘tis the end

#川柳

dawn succeeds the night / 
and birds sing for its glory / 
but for falling bombs

#川柳

away with the wind / 
like leaves dead, like ashes, dust / 
let mine self scatter

like the universe / 
expanding until the end / 
my mind never stops 

#川柳

lo! the speed of life / 
moving so fast that it hurts / 
except when it hurts

#川柳

freely willed or not / 
our becoming comes with costs / 
not all pay the bill
