CD : 497 nakeness

1
open raw wound layers
exposed frail bones there and cracked
foundations, see repairs
2
relentless the sun
burns through many layers, leaving
taunt lobster-like skin
3
thoughts lining his skin
heart flow of ink was his tat
remembering ‘Mom’
4
bare, souls of poets; like
graceful prayer flags hanging
in the elements
5
all words are equal
in their nakedness, speaking
honest intentions

    this is a wonderful series of haiku -- but I'm especially liking the fourth one -- the poets' souls flying like prayer flags -- a really gorgeous image and metaphor. :)

    I like to imagine with you that all words are equal in their nakedness...

    Naked in the Grass

    I think you have undressed nakedness to its inner core
