Orion offers his belt
as a tourniquet
I dig the imaginative and whimsical quality of this haiku, BB. Nice one.
Great sense of the depth of thought.
Terrific couple of lines to back up the first line. Highly memorable.

Wow. Profound and cosmic, Dietmar. Very powerful.
The source of words, poetry, and the sense of space – really enjoyed this.
Wow, indeed! I now know I need to have my eyes tested as I read this as 'onion' until I noticed the comments about space and the cosmos – well, it made sense to me, in terms of peeling back layers.
But it is even better as 'orion', Dietmar! :)
