Underground (Part 28 to 30)
(NB. Three more haikus on the Underground)
28
Asleep on the seat
He only just wakes up
Before it leaves.
29

Outside he tells himself this
Can’t keep happening
30
Guitar in his case
The busker offers the tramp
Some of his coffee.

(III)

You almost turn back round to
Get straight back on it.
(IV)
Stepping from the mist
You feel like you are stepping
From a dark film noir.
(V)
Pausing suddenly

Trapped - Haiku
I'm trapped in darkness
