A glimpse of nothing

Rocky mountains of tan sand

I thought I saw you.

*****

“Don’t leave me” he begged

She stared through his eyes and left

The door slam echoed.

*****

Imagine the world

an oasis of kindness

white velvet hands stroke.

*****

Chipping at my heart

like broken glass exploding

Did you have to leave?

  1. First of all: Wonderful wonderful haiku
    Secondly: The soft “Imagine the world” haiku flanked by two haiku that express sharp, jagged “leaving”. Such an interesting placement & progression. Was it deliberate?
