a burning ball of gas.

His Former Life As A Star.

I'm trying to weave
your life - with and without me -
in my head. But I

have a problem with
how it ends: 'God, I should have
been there,' I'm thinking.

Been where? Well, you see,
I should have been out drinking
with you that night but

I was busy, and,
because of me, you had no
ride home, so I... well.

It's speculation.
But your uncle and I will
miss you as we drink.

He'll keep the promise
you made to me long ago.
(You've always been dead.)

PoeticProcrastination
Usually, haikus seem harsh and chopped because people try so hard to get the right number of syllables that they don't mind sacrificing the beauty and the flow that haikus are supposed to have.

Yours are freaking GORGEOUS.

All of them together flow like a full-length poem.
