Swept


Throwing all these sticks and stones
Lining all my paths with bones
In my heart I’ve killed at least a thousand 
souls
For getting in the way of isolation

Sweeping up my memories
I run across some stinging bees
But under the rug they go
I can hear them ebb and flow

The tide just keeps flowing in
This might be the bitter end
The tale is ‘bout to stretch and bend
Beyond my house of blood and skin

Still you’re the one that’s left alive
The queen of my humming hive
But where there once was honey
Lies nothing but dark and cold


-Allen Masterson

11 Haiku


Haiku #1


A universe is
ripping us apart, drowning
me in entropy





Haiku#2


emerging fractals
along waking eyes from
patterns on paper








Haiku #3


An ancient tree feels
the predator's breath as
a feeble limb creeks







Haiku #4


a sun grazer dies
as electricity arcs
between two lovers





Haiku #5


tripping golden spiders
spin silk cocoon tomb wombs of
kaleidoscope dreams






Haiku #6


a serpent ignites
imagination in Eve
enticing her love






Haiku #7


dew slowly swells on
an unkempt grave this morning
but by noon, it's gone






Haiku #8


structured crystals fall
wantonly from a midnight
black succubi sky







Haiku #9

corporate corpses
in a dim lit den of thieves
clap for a collapse




Haiku #10


salty libidos
desire connection with a
marshmallow sex pot





Haiku #11

from the corner of
my eye I see the world wait
for me to fall down
