stumbling toward sunrise
parched and panting all the way
shortcut through the wire

    Shortcut indeed. Making our way through to what we need can sometimes be a rough passage, but as you so aptly describe, the parching inside that drives us. I see a lot of meaning and teaching here today as well as the beautiful haiku and photo.

    Peace

    Doen’t look like an easy way to go! I love the contrast of the soft hues of sunrise and the sharp thorns of the wire fence….

    Shortcuts are seldom the best way…your haiku always make me think♥

    So many beautiful contrasts here…the striated sky against the rounds of barbed wire…

    lovely!

    Sometimes a shortcut is painful, but the best way? Seems so at times. I fear that I may interpret your poetry more darkly than you intend. Sorry! And , as always, your photos complements your words so well.

    Perfect picture highlighting the contrasts out on the desert! That beautiful sky and the rusting remnants of people who couldn’t quite make it out there (at least this is what I’m imagining)
