some haikus

blistering moonlight
tethered by the emotions
and urns of crushed light

deep haughty beetles 
prickly pear sunk in wet dirt
scorpions in bloom 

sanskrit at sunset
pigmented pigmalia
and my mind ablaze

grass snakes in my field
of vision stained with ochre
iron weighted blood

bright citrus sky 
hummingbirds and angels in
a cemetery plot
