A Haiku String by Susan Dale


Passions 2

Bodies heavy
with heat
Oh, the ache of it

   *****

Hot colors of the heart
spread out in the sun
to burn

   *****

Sensing the smoke of fire
Breathing
embered breath

   *****

Compulsions meet
in tangled skeins
of legs and arms

   *****

The language of our hearts
we feel
in our bodies




Susan Dale's poems and fiction are on Kind of a Hurricane Press, Ken*Again, Penman Review, Inner Art Journal, Feathered Flounder, Garbanzo, and Linden Avenue.  In 2007, she won the grand prize for poetry from Oneswan.  She has two published chapbooks on the internet:  Spaces Among Spaces by languageandculture.org and Bending the Spaces of Time by Barometric Pressure.
