Haiku: 8 to 14

8
his ear was returned
with no forwarding address:
vincent is depressed.

9
beneath the lightbulb
the eye of a potato
scans dirty dishes.

10
my mother is dead
like my father and sister –
now i know the way.

11
there is more than flesh
- even i will admit it -
but still, there is flesh.

12
a tattoo of death
brilliant image on my skin
but a poor likeness.

13
i remember you
the only fish in the sea:
i became ahab.

14
i’m fishing today
since yesterday got away
today looks tiny.
