Ok. I just wrote this for this thread, Duncan mentioned the Haibum, so I had to try. Not knowing a thing about them. odds are I made a real pigs ear of it. but I like the concept of the form and prose combination. I look forward to the morning read in this thread ~~ henie

Lentils, barley, split peas, are always tucked into a container marked
“For a pleasant winter” And that winter came and went unused, sunshine
had worked true magic, and life moved on.

Moths in the pantry
sleep in seasons
peppered reality


Mountain men, explorers’ of air walk with their scalps skimming space It’s said so they keep their cool,
while at the shore; whales throw their weight
to land, a first new move into this alien place.

with rations
every one
counts


To have a memory like that! Forever is plastic box
the dimensions of a short day, and the fortitude to spread
generations hoping for the lid to be burped; an open time,
that lets part of you get free
