  • leisure haiku

    blazing sun
    seeking refuge under a tree
    sipping a cold drink

    — sunny day

    fresh air
    water splashing on the skin
    lying in the sun

    — at a lake

  • hunting

    blazing eyes fixed on the prey

    baring teeth licked by tongue

    shallow breathing not to be heard

    treading cautiously for a silent approach

    assessing the distance while preparing to jump

    success! caught the cake

  • A wild construction site appears

    It starts drilling holes in concrete
    The drilling is very loud and noisy

    You put in ear plugs
    They lessen the noise

    The construction site starts working on metal
    The smell is awful and stings the nose
    Your defense is lowered

    You close the window
    The smell subsides
    The noise can still be heard

    The construction site continues its
    barrage for hours on end

    You can’t take no more and succumb
    to the onslaught on your senses
    You feel your energy completely depleted
    and need to rest, unable to do anything else
    for the remainder of the day …

  • being

    to feel myself I need to touch myself

    to touch myself I need to have a body

    to have a body means to take care of it

    to take care of it is a hassle

    some days

  • realisation

    brick by brick
    we build our life
    moment by moment
    we live our life
    worry by worry
    we waste our life
    we celebrate
    happy times together
    we support each other
    through sad times
    eventually
    it all comes to an end
