What a great example of the principle we talked about. The haiku itself is great--replete with succinct phrasing and adherence to form, and an appropriate meditation on the nature of energy, to boot. But add to all that a reflective title, and the poem becomes something akin to a thesis on the human condition. Is bigger always better? Certainly not--especially when variables of velocity and direction may make any path a suicidal one. But that, too, is part of the riddle: life is motion, but that very motion leads inevitably to depletion. And if we forego the infinite tiny deaths that all flesh is heir to, as Shakespeare might say, then we rob future life of its opportunity to grow.
A great many words, these. In truth, I think your poem says it all. Good show as always,
