Hay-Ku of the Day (Cosmic Labor Pains)

My soulful anguish

Mid-wife to Divine Glory 

Cosmic Labor pains.

Liquor Store Bottle

Easing with forgetfulness

My soul sick sorrow.

Auger of desire

Sharp cutting edge of despair

Bursting into Light.

Slowly drifting off

Thought and feeling pass away

Practicing my death.
