Some choose ascension
I prefer your earthbound touch
Heaven in the flesh.

Gripping my stained neck
You claim this unravish'd bride
Lifting life from clay.
Mother: A Haiku

Cradling hollow bones
My breasts hold your hungry mouth
Milking flesh to life.
Resurrection: A Haiku

Come down from that cross
Let my mouth's soft, wet prayer
Bring you back to life.
Jealousy: A Haiku

I feared her power
'Til I made faithful love to
Your other woman.

Bind my wings, lover
Tie me to St. Andrew's cross
Guide my fall towards grace.

Hand over your sword
No need to lick your war wounds
That's why I am here.

Frankincense and myrrh
Perfume our skin as our cries
Pierce the silent night.
Nostalgia: A Haiku
