Haiku .6

DIANNE CIKUSA

invisible scream 
cloud of blocked opinions
others’ ears

computer train
tracks built on milestones
fastened illusion

midday schoolteacher
scribbles on a blackboard
last night’s dream

embers falling
the fireman’s shadow
long flame of regret

responding clock
a list of written problems
ticked off
