Should I write a haiku
sunlight streams in the window
too bright to look at
pouring onto the page
heat building
my face
burning
she lies
in the dark lounge room
on a cheap futon
I can't see her
but I know
she's frowning
the vague
frown of the
troubled sleeper
empty silence all around her
the cool air on one exposed arm
she huddles into the backrest
just us now
maybe for good
just her and I
should I write a haiku?
or should I keep staring
eyes pinched
into the sunlight?
