What’s In My Stomach: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

The knots in my gut/
from waiting and storytales/
are not butterflies.

Life IS about me./
I tried to make it about/
her. She won’t let me.

Photos of flowers./
I’d send them to her. But she’d/
think they’re for others.

Sometimes you put out/
your heart, and people step on /
it as they leave.

Please cancel any/
reservations about us./
Make fantasy trips.

He thought of her wait./
What she anticipated/
would have choked a horse.

She layed,
Languidly,
Lingering in his arms.

He, taut,
Held tightly,
Timidly thinking of speaking.

Silence drove their uncertainty.
Yet both were so sure.

She hears that I am/
disappointed. I only/
thirst for nourishment.

She hears that I am/
disappointed. I only/
thirst for nourishment.
