There are so many possible meanings - a family of interrelated meanings - in how each line works with one or both of the other lines. The ambiguity is very well-tuned. Your #haiku is amazing, Catherine.
#haiku
her tattoos make
her look like
an early postage stamp
Some of this stuff is like a #senryu
birdsong before dawn
still darkness absence of thought
a singing silence
#haiku #silence
I take pride in my alt-text, but some is better than others. This one…this is one of my favorites.
there are things
that exist
because we fail
to forget them
they are made
of almost
and after
and the part of silence
that is not empty
we carry them
without carrying
each one
too slight
yet together
they alter the weight
of being here
