haiku
by rcribay
walking past
petals on a wet, black bough;
Pound on my tongue.
flares are amazing tools to light the way in darkness. like a flashlight they bring light, but unique to a flare is the fact that you can throw it ahead of you. throw it into water and bring light to not just damp but wet places (should said flare be oxidized of course).
i lack the language to bring illumination
the darkness you bring to the table needs
a special light my AA batteries cannot
tackle. one i can pull from my back pocket
and show you page by page. but don’t get
too close, it burns like a flare
