For it to be a haiku/senryu, it would need to be something like this:
"a small bullet hole where the magic seeps in when no one is looking"
I think this is about love, a "shot to the heart." And the way it creeps in when you're not looking or paying attention ... a gradual friendship-to-more kind of love.
Now that's the kind of bullet hole a person wouldn't mind!
ReplyDeletesmiles...i like how something as potentially ugly as a bullet hole can make a place for the magic to come in...nice...
ReplyDeletejust love this!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is appropriately cryptic and ambiguous and resonant-- thanks again for the wonderful prompt. xxxxj

I like that image--jarring, with the danger and hint of death from the bullet hole and then the contrasting image of magic seeping in.
ReplyDeleteThis is poignantly lovely; reminds me a bit of Leonard Cohen's "a crack is to let the light come in" ... very nice.
