Marionette Haiku

My marionette,

Dancing to another's tune,

I thought it was mine?

  • Cloud

    Floating in the sky

    Like white fluid still in time

    But moves in slow grace

    Swirled with a brush by an oil painter

    Yet sculpted with regality of wood

    A whisper full of substance

    An illusion of support

  • 24/7

    24/7 running in my head,

    not a moment of peace and constant

    restlessness.

     

    24/7 walking to a beat,

    a pressurizing pulse to synchronize

    every action with a piece whose name

    I can't recall.
