haikus for finals

knives lay on tables
apple skins and flesh lay bare
candy red blood shine

all access passes
do i need one when i dream
mr bear smiles

tired eyes shut tight
blankets soft and warm call out
rest your head on me

computers aglow
nightlights butterflies and deceit
questions left unsaid

creativity
only four in the morning
eight am final

love and flowers sweet
you linger like cranberries
sour in my mouth

poetry in a box
stay between heaven and earth
read me a secret
