Barren room haiku

















(1)
sleepless night—
alone but never alone
my heart's still pounding

(2)
blanketing darkness
in the empty calmness—
the wall clock’s ticking

(3)
routine blackout—
glowing light at the corner
my fluorescent watch

(4)
eyes wide awake
thru' the windowpane, the moon
keeps shining on me

(5)
power failure—
absence of light, I’m blinded
aha! room gets wider

(6)
a barren room—
no valuables and riches
I get accustomed
