Slow Night Valet Haikuage

It may not be good, but it has gotten me through some slow nights. And it really isn’t quite proper Haiku, even for English Haiku. I don’t always include a reference to the natural world or seasons (Japanese kigo). I am better at including a cut (kireji) that contrasts or compares two things.

Blazin, packin, drunk
Blind like good Lady Justice
I see only tips

Unwilling witness
Tree rooted in poison earth
Your anger eats me

Rare golden treasure
Idaho’s underground pearl
Precious tater tot

Ghostly glowing bowl
Gathering nighttime shadows
Floating white crescent

Attendant profile
Black reflection for the world
Light’s dark side of me

Slow spreading poison
Blooming light of dawn
Frustration rising

Marathon of meat
Beefy Tower of Babel
One epic burger
