Robert Davey

Hauntings

Tuesday morning, another one. In the corner, by the radio. Mouthing the wrong words to hip-hop. 

Even dinner tastes of casual betrayals. Pudding of petty cruelties.

So many people who deserved more from me.

UV light
stains and fingerprints
linger

  1. “dinner tastes of casual betrayals” – this line shall stay with me. Recounting our past is not always comforting. I realize this sense of ‘could have done better’ often. Your haibun strikes a chord with me. Thanks for sharing.
