Haiku by Michael O’Brien
ghost hormones the photograph of a smashed pineapple
(first published in: Bones 24)
–
mood ring the horse a horse
(first published in Bones 24)
–
new aspen leaves the first king’s death
–
Just as close to the sun. The priest’s shoes.
–
Pig’s back. Once we were all rocks.
–
all future earths
and there being more to life
than cherry blossom
–
Are you sure it’s turning? Pig’s back!
–
mild equator the grease of aviation
–
footprint fossil the landlord’s signature
–
Are they looking at Jupiter too, Will and Jada?
