Camille Gray
As I process through my break up, I found that haiku’s finally broke my writing block. I decided to write a bunch of haiku is in Castaic structure where they start fairly lighthearted and slowly get darker, only to go from the darkness back to lightheartedness. TW: sexual imagery
A haibun is a style of poetry where you go on a journey with someone through the main portion of the poem, and it ends with a haiku about a new conclusion. For years I did not understand why my body hurts so badly. It was much later when I finally figured it out. This poem reflects that journey. TW: abuse, child abuse
I am healing from abuse that makes it scary to enter a romantic relationship. This is a poem about God, and walking obediently towards healing.
