Haiku: Curfew

Curtains are flapping

the football ends after ten

division begins

Haiku: ‘Rearguard’

Last line of defense
I am the man in motion
All the men are gone

Copyright Francis Barker 2020

I am the hated
I’m persona non grata
I will inherit

Copyright Francis Barker 2020

The sun’s disappeared
Darkness is my enemy
My light from within

Universe means one
One word releasing all this
Bottle that meaning
