Haikus for Donna Rae

by Candy Sue Ellison

1.
When unveiling you
my hand has a thousand eyes;
they blink, you open.

2.
Your hands make a web
that now catches my body:
a delicate net.

3.
Turn off all the lights
to see what turns on inside:
Fireflies blinking codes.

4.
If I were to burst
into blossom at your feet,
would you deny me?

5.
Thighs: a field aflame.
Heart: corn, ready to be husked.
Hands: mend the ruins.
