A Haibun by Kat Lehmann

More Than a Sphere

This uneven cube with slanted angles just won’t do for a table. There is no balance-point for your cup. There isn’t a word to speak me the way the word “ocean” disregards the fish. If you seek only my moonlight, you will miss the peculiar fullness of my shadows.


wild strands
of the stringed universe
these silvering braids
