Haiku (Inspired by The Names by Don Delillo)

I count my fingers
after I shake hands with him.
Stolen heart; what's next?

****

Herding grains of sand;
a fool tries to sweep a desert.
Leave nature alone.

****

Domestic forms of
assault; the agreed upon
reductions. Marriage.

****

You gave me a frame
glass free, backless, vacant and
doomed to hang condemned.

****

Curved metal and wood
the language of destruction
violates the ear.

****
Stockings. Whisper it!
The word is meant to be freed
between tongue and teeth.
