Haibun

Haibun Monday, d’Verse. Join the fun! Poetry prompt: Write a haibun. Word prompt: Life on Mars

Though you’re from Mars, and I’m from Venus, the liminal space—the dark matter between us—somehow draws us, perhaps by gravitational pull or mutual attraction. Spinning in orbit, I feel you. Mayhap we will meet on that orb, the one called Earth, like magnets drawing until we find one another. Then, something new. Something found. Something real.

neath a waterfall
lichen clings to the wet stones
sun flare—something’s there
