Atmospheric Compression
sleep…
we parted company…for the most part
a while ago
snatches of nap here and there
but a full night’s sleep?
…very rare
disrupted by dreams and thoughts
as I stare at the ceiling
and tossmaybe it’s only my imagination
(but I somehow doubt it)
the world feels…
heavier?
more dense?

There is a twist to this one that intrigues. You think you know where it’s going but it turns and doesn’t land where expected.

I remember seeing gulls in a Costco parking lot in Denver once and being surprised. A long way from the ocean, they were. I wonder if they ever missed the silence of the sea. Great haiku…I can’t seem to get the hand of writing them myself

I like how the changing of seasons and self are merged in this. Humanity has a deep bond with nature, but many have lost sight of it

I think your poem speaks to something very true Willow. There is a definite compression in the air in these times (and for many for a very long time before this). But especially today, there is the feel of the walls pressing in, everything is hunkering down trying to find a safe place to live in. This is no way for human beings to live. -Curt
