"Towards the Alpha bet's New Beginning of I" (abecedarian hay(na)ku) (revised 8/24)

&&&&& (for I)



Anything
believable challenges,
drives. Everything fallable

gains,
heightens. I
just know love

manuevers
nothing, otherwise
proposes, quarrels,, resurrects.

Surely —
tarpits, underwire,
virtuous widows, Xs,

young
zephyrs, adolescents,
bored child-driven enterprises,

future-seers,
gimme heterosexuals.
I just know

lovers
make noise
openly, proving quiescent

reservoirs,
sensual taverns
underneath vast waterfalls.

X-ray,
yes, zealously,
any bay's cavern,

dividing
entire frozen
glaciers. Halving. I

just
know living
mainly nightens. Over

paradise,
questions rise
sinuously, testily, unsure.

Valuable
wasting, x-acto
yapping, zippering autumn

both
closed, dumbed,
elegant. For giving

home.
I just
know love means

news,
orals, plurals,
quinces, ravishing silhouettes

to
underscore virtually
whimsical xerox youth —

Zanzibar!
Anything believable,
challenging everything, fallable,

gainfully
heightened: I
just know love.
