ostensibly yours: a sequence in haiku



why have i emerged

a puppet bird formed and wrapt

in fleshly prison

+

forging agency

from former imagining

a dream in a dream

+

bid the puppet sing

to dance and scrape and bow

for sheer delighting

+

sprout wings, mount the skies

then fall to the ground a heap

of broken carnage

+

graceful gravity

joins forces with secret reich's

of phantom powers

+

to dare and to damn

an unproven destiny

commingling death

+

ostensibly yours

succomb to fair blue maya

matrix, womb and tomb
