CY@CY Says Welcome to my dreamscape. Where a Lim is also a Ling.

Footprints in the sand Ending at the water’s edge No return footprints

Clothes hanging outside Down came a heavy downpour A free second wash

Like precious gemstones Raindrops cling to blades of grass Until gravity acts.

Torrential downpour A cacophony of sounds An angry showdown

Doctor’s prescription Sleeping pills for insomnia Dozed off reading it

Counting syllables as I compose my haiku Wife thinks I am mad

Cramming for exams Struggling to keep awake Heaps of black coffee

Cyber bullying Anonymity emboldens Sad repercussions

Two empty glasses Cheer each other with a clink Each time the man thrusts.

Custody shuffle The time the girl’s laughter dies Heart in a turmoil
