Haiku: Thorn in my Eye

A sudden look from afar this smoky room,
A fleeting dream of hearth and home…only a glimmer;
A dream caught and trapped forever in gleaming glass
While the thorn of her gaze both punctures my mind
and brings my heart of rusty gears to full stop.

Just an ordinary Joe trying to get through the thick of it. Once a teacher now retired, Joe has cirrhosis of the liver and is working day to day to re-examine life; find a way through the maze of rediscovering purpose, and fighting the daily battle between existing and facing mortality. Time is the most valuable treasure and fighting back the dark isn’t always successful—Joe is breaking coffee mugs day to day, enduring insomnia and a fire to write whatever he can for however long he can to figure out what it’s all about….if that’s possible
