Five Haiku

Phil Piarrot

1

Again you are here

Taking it all for granted

November rain fall

2

Tangible nightmare

Glued to the grotesquerie

I spoon out my eyes

3

Harrowing sublet

Shaggy white carpet piled high

Has its own shark tank

4

Porch swing; in sweet gloom

Shadows play on the sidewalk

Dusk swallows them whole

5

Yellow eyes vanish

What was watching now unseen

Feel wind on my cheek
