NaPoWriMo, Day 15
1. Poetic Asides – slash, button, mask, strap, and balloon
Walking the streets of the Ances
I can smell the early city,
The steaming heat of the markets,
And wonder what happened to
The early people coming to the place.
Did they have to strap the masks of gods
so all the natives worshipped them?
Or did they slash the inside of a goat
to produce that same effect?
Were they capable of escaping
The loving ardour of their fans?
I find their crashed balloon
In the jungle just outside the city.
Running along the streets of the Ances
I’m happy to know I’ve a button
Just push it –
It magically sends me
Away and beyond
Lunacy’s fences.
2. Haiku Heights – Alive
Alive comes nature
All despite the human race
Not ours to ruin

Haunting words….despite the human race….hmm .. lovely
“Not ours to ruin”
Truer words were never written!
“More Dead Than Alive”
a happy button would be a nice thing to have
alive on subway senryu
