Haikus 6: Shadows Ground

so much of these steps
I've already forgotten
when I can look back


their lives warm chaos
sifting into my two ears
finally frozen


walk below storm clouds
thunder rolls over my skin
lighting forgotten


changing ground shadows
the higher sun in the sky
every day I'm growing


the need to make lists
beneath the naming panic
air filled with algae


walking sand filled shoes
so far from the horizon
wind blowing through cloak


the walls closing in
whats not working is me
when will roof topple


every word cuts through
every stone falls where I stand
every distance gone


why shake fist at cloud
it has stopped raining they say
but we are all wet
