Haikus Written From Hades

Ferrying through fog

Photo by Joe Green on Unsplash

Far, far, far away, into that misty distance — Charon’s grey ferry

Dark water lapping heavy oar creaks like a door– passengers staring

How many lifetimes must we repeat this venture– into the abyss

Wedged between devils chained to my impotent vote — hallucinating

Aging marble arm cracked moss-eaten history — we are all condemned

Some skeleton strums a Spanish guitar, singing– unquenchable night
