57. Poetry by petro c. k.
Drifting Endlessly
drifting endlessly
an astronaut’s
frozen scream
bioelectric pulse—
I grow another hand
to hold you
a star burns out . . .
I change
my travel plans
winter’s
spreading gray . . .
ecophagy
textpocalypse . . .
writing to
old penpals
a new buzz
among the blossoms
robotic bees
the airlock opens
Rip van Winkle
2500 A.D.
What is it with Haiku Poets and the Moon?
— a rengay by petro c. k. & Jerome Berglund
summer moon
soon to have
more visitors
red son circles the earth
winding back clock, space race
moon visit redux
getting dusty
our first flag
scratched record orbiting
syncs up with Oz odyssey
dark side of the moon
earthrise
longing again
lunar rock
should feed people here first
she interjects
petro c. k.
Petro C. K. is a temporal being living in the primordial emerald landscape of the Pacific Northwest. His creative life has just recently included writing, with haiku and other short-form poetry already published in over a dozen journals. In between bouts of existential dread and listening to music that 99% of people find too weird for them, he is working on his first collection of poetry.
