Look at this. Look at me,
I am...
No longer bound by the laws of gravity.
I am...
No longer trapped by my own insanity.
I'll float,
In the vastness of the chainless sky.
Unfurl my once-broken wings
And let me fly!
So free,
Like a precious rock dove.
So free,
To find someone to be my love.
I'll search,
among the mass of blue, blue sky.
Just let me unfurl my once broken wings,
And let me rise and fly.
And I think about it every day,
The ways you had chained me,
Trapping me without my say.
But look at me now!
I am floating, higher and higher.
Letting myself be finally free!
I am floating now!
Far, far away from you...
I am floating now,
Letting myself be finally true.
And I am...
Free. At last, finally free!
As for you....
You will
Never...
Ever...
Have me...
Because I am free.

His Haibun
He does not like poetry; I write it anyway and do not tell him. It's true his face is not a poet's face. It is round and open, youthful; too apt to be compared to the sun. His nose is neat. It is impossible to imagine him smoking a cigarette, terse, full of cheekbones and tension. His warmth burns my fingertips. I am here for his fascinating body, the haphazard freckles I touch one by one; he is here for my eyes, just my eyes. A sunbeam sneaks through the curtains and pierces us both, sizzling the spices of his skin. I inhale and wrap myself in him. He kisses my eyes.
