[{( in the saffron sky )}]

{a few of my favorite haiku/american pops from kerouac}


..............
I'm so mad
I could bite
The mountaintops
.......................
~~~~~~~~
"You and me"
I sang
Looking at the cemetery
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
------------
One flower
on the cliffside
noddong at the canyon
-------------------------
***************
Everlastingly loose
and responsive,
The cloud bussiness
****************
..............
Gull sailing
in the saffron sky---
The Holy Ghost wanted it
................................
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do you know why my name is Jack?
Why?
That's why.
~~~~~~
--------------------------
Beautiful summer night
gorgeous as the robes
Of Jesus
---------
*****************
When the moon sinks
down to the power line,
I'll go in
******
...................
The little worm
lowers itself from the roof
By a self shat thread
..........................
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The other man, just as
lonesome as i am
In this empty universe
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I really dig this one. How many times have we thought such thoughts?
