Global Haiku Tradition • Tan-Renga

green light 
no hesitation
sirens

I turn my
sweaty pillow

Drew DeLor
& Brandon Lockhart

 

pale, paper thin skin
vibrating hands
eyes like a child's

exploding cheers ensue
at the finish line

Crystal Claros
& Brandon Lockhart

 

touching
ballet fingers
encore

this dance we do
deserves an audience

Brandon Lockhart
& Crystal Claros

 

clinking
lifting
heavy metal

I tear apart my body
just to feel something

Brandon Lockhart
& Crystal Claros

 

his singing echoes—
my kitchen
is his stage

face flushed
I join in on the chorus

Crystal Claros

 


jackets and scarves
hot cocoa
parade passes by

store owner hollers,
buy one get one free!
