They can’t pull
The stars from
Our bones,
And in that way
We are free.

These sorrowed
Bones remain
unbroken,
And when
I cannot stand,
I will crawl
Ever toward
The light.

Has it already turned #cold where you are? Cold & wet but not yet snowy? Here’s a #haiku / #senryu by Marjolein Rotsteeg that speaks of #warmer #weekends. Marjolein writes in #Dutch, #English & #French. Her work has been widely published & anthologized. #poetry #breakfast #poetrycommunity #poems #haiku #poetrylovers #micropoetry

The stars
Become
So many
Candles in
The church
Of silence
Darkness
Builds around
The broken.

I wish to know
What the roses
Know of November,
And sleep.

We the exhaled,
The last gasp
Of stars in our veins,
Warn off death
With each breath,
Ephemeral yet
Part of eternity.

Let our bodies
Sing the psalm
Of entropy,
And weep
These atoms
Back into
The universe.

#haiku by Mona Bedi @drmonabedi, a physician-educator in Delhi, India. #micropoetry #autumn #poetry #creepy #poetrylovers #halloween #poems #poetrycommunity #autumn #india

Come maddening
Darkness,
And take from
Me insufferable
Sanity.

Sometimes
I pretend that
Gravity bends
And I fall
Right into the
Obsidian sky.
