Soft, hard

in the soft
bumblebee fur
somewhere it stings

stings
reflections glinting
on a shield

a shield and sword to all (men)

all (men) created equal     apples

apples
plucked and thrown
into the plop

plop
stone clearing
the mind

mind per hour circling hands

hands talk space consuming cold

cold single teeth of a deer run over flat

flat roof the arc of a mountain street air

street air     paying twice a lung
 
lung lichen
choosing McCoy
and Spock

Spock a dose of tossing coins in the soft

Well. This is a chain sequence of haiku/senryu/monoku. I like to create my own rules, because this is where I find joy— in the total freedom of play and creation, even in setting my own guidelines. 

You will see that there is an overlap of words at the beginnings and endings, and this is a link, yet then I move away or broaden or shrink the before. It is a dance towards an unexpected end which links back to the beginning.

Call it ... catena alterius.
