our last words
in the knife?s blade

    Excellent haiku, very original!

    zombie debt–
    the practised slice
    of a bread knife

    Thank Maureen,

    It's surprising what imagery we conjure with knives, literally and metaphorically.

    Your kind words very much appreciated, and thank you for your haiku again.

    warm regards,

    Alan
