<strong>HAYWIRE</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> <strong>10</strong> <strong>Fall</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />

The Mikado<br />

I.<br />

Non-wilted cherry<br />

Blossoms upon the concrete<br />

Marked by gasoline<br />

II.<br />

Old stars drawn from ink<br />

Simplistic glory in calm<br />

Meditative strokes<br />

III.<br />

The moon speaks kanji<br />

To the cornfields that answer<br />

Its melodic call<br />

IV.<br />

From the village shrine<br />

To where Fuji meets the sun<br />

There’s tranquility<br />

V.<br />

Faces in the tea<br />

From steam rise prophetically<br />

Touch liquid surface<br />

VI.<br />

The ceramic pyre<br />

From the cups set aside<br />

By the tall green trees<br />

Poetry by<br />

James Gromis, 9c<br />

Untitled<br />

What stubborn<br />

Deference<br />

Must be conjured<br />

From an aching mind<br />

To heal the<br />

Wounds from the<br />

Past to let be<br />

The scabs of the<br />

Present and to<br />

Feel the juvenile<br />

Skin patches of<br />

The future<br />

Untitled<br />

The bar is too cold<br />

The club is too cold<br />

The alcohol is too cold<br />

The damn world is too cold<br />

Screams the hot headed<br />

Skinhead lantern hiking<br />

With Jack Daniels<br />

The hall is too hot<br />

The club is too hot<br />

The hippie bags are too hot<br />

Screams the cool headed<br />

Angelic bouncer<br />

Drawing symbols in coke<br />

Untitled<br />

Like a cornucopia<br />

Of fruit<br />

Dost the mind<br />

Spill rich, seedy<br />

Thought quelling<br />

Of lyrical juice.<br />

Exotic reds<br />

Citric yellows<br />

Filling conscience<br />

Beyond the brim<br />

Of comprehensibility<br />
