Good to have you back. Your poem has so many images that come from its words and landscape. Some hiaku take-offs:
Stress lines propagate,
Hidden to the eye or mind,—
Ripping through red heart.
—Continents drifting,—
Stretching or crashing upwards,—
Like our souls slow rift.
—Time-Space distorted,—
That's what holds round moon nearby,—
Still,—She reflects Sun.
—Straight lines on frost ice,—
Your tracks circling randomly,—
Pressing on frail ice.
—It was the last one,—
Spring's final pink bud fell down,—
And with it our Hope.
