Haiku Collection #2 – “Father Time’s Future”

By: Erickson

#1 – Daily Routine

–

A battle to live,

Ritual to train the sword,

Stagger, side-step, win.

–

#2 – Bird Dive

–

Out of breath, I lean.

Acrobat posture, far ground.

Lands immerse vision.

–

#3 – Routine Daily

–

Pay homage – clock ticks,

A beating heart notices

Time like sand through palms.

–

#4 – The Bright Ages

–

Robots rotate – creak.

Child’s hand touches cold metal.

Thrive or die, thrive, die.

–

#5 – Calluses

–

Cushion of a chair

Sinks and swallows you full, but

Work is a virtue.

–

#6 – Circular

–

Ducks swim in circles,

A whirlpool of feathers flock.

One twists from the tide.

–

#7 – Piece of You

–

A brittle screen steals.

Peak white and glowing blue screams,

Eyes, time, focus – leaves.
