hide + seek haiku

not anymore, never again
praise the lord
for I have seen the light.

anthem

ring the bells that still can ring, forget your perfect offering
there is a crack in everything, (that is how the light gets in).

I lied
not with a clear intention
but “because I couldn’t help it”

“my wounds
are mine to master,
all the better to get
stronger, faster”

“horsepower is not
the answer, no one gets by
on muscle alone”

as I enter into prayer
can I forget, for a moment
how I am seen by the world?
