The Lesions of Devotion
Every day I set myself down on the freshly cut lawn and strip myself bare. I take my guitar and finger the frets and pick at the strings, listening for dissonance. My life is dissonance. I twist the tuning pegs until each string sounds bright. Then I kneel, calves pointing behind me, kneecaps facing forward. All exposed to the breeze. I close my eyes and play the melody.

I think poetry is a lot like acting, and words are like the actors. Sometimes a haiku feels too forced.. like how a movie is badly acted, or written.. and we’re aware of it. In Haikus, the awareness is comparable to a reader having to count the syllables. This poem is so genuinely effortless! I didn’t have to stop to read the syllables. You’ve convinced me and I believe you. Your words were great, acting flawlessly.
