Haiku 4 You

Cleaning Haiku #1 Wipe down the toilet Spray bottle clicking so quick. Cleaning can feel gross. #2 If I have to haul one more bag to the dumpster I will just collapse! #3 I discovered me!! plastic bags filled with poems these words are my life. #4 Tears frenchkiss my eyes we have a makeout session full, deep... without lips #5 My sister walks in catches me crying and thinks poems cause the pain.

We even leave arguments unspoken. Now we throw each other sideways glances and only give spiteful second chances with mutinous war embedded in our eyes, cause we don't trust each other. So the sun don't rise in these crescent lips of mine. It's just an eclipse in that heart of yours. ...
