Some haiku

the iris’s ear
nowhere to be found
among my contraceptives

                              death—and a turquoise coin, tail side up. In chorus


                                                            every door open
                                                            the pink rooms inside
                                                            the icicles


looking out through the petroglyph
the only choice
x-rated


                                             and reassembles its insect self on the crooked energy, on the


                              she converts the young
                              mothers into celsius degrees cold
                              cash equations
