I’m getting close to the end of my haiku project, with only one month of haikus left to go until I finish. That means that there might not be another longer sequence of this kind. I think I’ve done about eight of them over the course of the year. This one, which is about the end of Leland Palmer, was not intended to be a long one. It just sort of grew into one as I kept feeling the need to add bits. Anyway, I hope you like it. I haven’t tackled this scene before; its some of the great Ray Wise’s best work, so I hope I’ve done it justice.
The players are set
Secret known only to two
Tragedy awaits
It is among them
Hiding in a warm body
But the game is up
Cast into a cell
The spirit’s rage is unbound
Done with it’s vessel
Smoke drifts upwards now
From Tremayne’s lit cigarette
Tickles the sensors
Brings the water
Conduit through which it flees
The thing that ruled him
Leaving a darkness
A dam burst of memories
Flooding inwards now
Memories of fear
A daughter’s terror of him
From which he can’t hide
It’s all he can take
So he rushes to his end
But the lodge awaits
No daughter’s embrace
No forgiveness or closure
Just the waiting room
