haiku

open in my hand
she’s sexy like a jackknife
ready to stab! stab!


*

once i’ve untangled
this phone cord i can go back
to writing bein fuck.


*

through an endless night
still hot beneath the ashes
a red ember burns


*

this is your brother
like you in body and mind
but he’s a doctor


*

now cracked and faded
in old yellow photographs
i once had child’s eyes
