MAL

Tanka #7

The war was bloody,

Men died along with their faith;

Nobody was left whole.

Mal was left with nothing else

But to find Serenity.

Her laughter echoes

Through out his body and soul.

Everybody knows

What he tries to bury deep:

Inara has claimed his heart.

Bullets and knives don’t

Scare Mal. However, brown eyes

Spin his life about.

Haiku #17

A bullet did not

Bother him as much as her

Leaving the ship did.

Haiku #18

His aim has never

Failed, his courage undaunted;

So why run from her?

Haiku #19

The Black is his life,

There is peace and solitude;

Except from his ghosts.

Haiku #20

He smiles in his bunk,

His crew is his family;

One even more so.

Haiku #21

“Do what’s right.” Ma said.

“Especially when it’s hard,

Do your Mama proud.”

Haiku #22

The next job has come

With it’s usual outcome;

Nothing comes easy.

Haiku #23

Mal dreams of a time

When his freedom is not sought;

Holding quicksilver.

Haiku #24

The Captain’s motto

Is: We work before we play.

Words to exist by.
