Haiku by Derek Weiss

Miserable eyes -
She sleeps with them half open
and dreams of honour.

At Sevenoaks Mall
Pelvic bones the new cleavage -
not as soft, or warm

We'd never work out
but she's only a picture
so it's ok

The paper people
are always more beautiful
to our dying eyes

Insecurity -
She looks better than TV -
Her insides ignored

I gave up - and found
her gaze - the prize for losing
all my useless games
