Chaiku: Last Breath

her last breath was like
the sound of a leaf falling
he touched a damp curl

What is Chaiku?

on shaky limbs
i tightrope across life
without a safety net

What is Chaiku?

words caught in my lips
bleeding into the abyss
silence isn’t golden

© Mother Wintermoon

all her words
hidden away in old clay jars
seeping through the cracks

the rowdy river
bellowing under the bridge
echoing his anger

©️

into the chasm
her words tumbled soundlessly
quietly unheard
