A half shell / of its former self / since life left. / haikumages

A half shell / of its former self / since life left.

A half shell / of its former self / since life left. / haikumages

Twoku: Now just half the shell / it used to be emptied of / the life that left it.

Threeku: Half the shell / that fell after it / released life.

Forku: One half an eggshell / came to rest on dark green leaves / after releasing life.

“Haikumages” are short poems (mostly haiku and senryu-style) combined with images (mostly original photographs and graphics) by Russ Murray.

Birds prepare for sleep / among the high bamboo leaves / chirping as eyes close. Cat making biscuits / on my belly, rhythmical / in a trance-like state.
