Emotional Haiku (3/7/06)

black to grey to white
feel heart slowly escalate
forgive and forget

time heals heels and graces
the dead fred with his quick laugh
he graces us no more.

lift up and fall down
and fall some more - now arise
alive and alert.

spirits flow ghostly
shifting clouds, nights, years and tears
reach out & touch faith

copy-right, copy-wrong, mark
the trades patently in law -
intellectual prop.

i sing the body
legal - the cold dead and dry
habeus corpus

mirror mirror on
the network, who will steal the
author's time and work

chicago my kind
of town, blurring into the
summer - the fourth frame

let my heart lift and
my spirit sing of joy with
peace and forgiveness.
