Haiku in Memory of Tom Petty

~

i smell of the moon –

one last time to kill the pain

and taste rock candy.

~

no, i won’t back down

among the wildflowers

we belong to them.

~

music and chaos

free fall into nothing, the

sounds of nineteen guns.

~

she was an american girl…

a nurse, a teacher, a veteran.
