Five Haiku
by ayaz daryl nielsen
myriad worlds
this dissolving earth
the myriad worlds we’ll seek
and also ruin
matriarchs
civilized planets
sacred presence in them all
gray-haired matriarchs
within
our old ones don’t die
passing through other spaces
their genes within us
and quite beautiful
distant space station
these lady ambassadors
from a nearby moon
in formal attire
golden bells on
their silver horns
blue antenna
my blue antenna,
waving ‘I care”, and! your blue
antenna waves back!
