A Room of My Own: Shadow Haiku

his shadow
looming over her
divorce talk


Added: after Leonard Cohen

in my mind's eye
my love holds on tighter to me
like I'm a crucifix
I sing out loud, Marianne
It's time we cry... and laugh 

FYI: Listen to Leonard Cohen's "So Long Marianne" (live in London)


Added:

climbing
the darkling spiral staircase
of the self
on each tread I sing
"just let go" loud and proud


Added: This Brave New World, LXXXIX

black SUVs
drive slowly as policemen scour
the cheering crowd 
in the clicking of cameras
he is arraigned... again
