This is my final haiku of the week, which have been unusually morbid for me. This one is dedicated to David Bowie. I wrote the haiku first, and then couldn’t get the image of Bowie in his final incarnation in “Lazarus” out of my head. I hope the restless artist’s soul has now found peace.
Eye sheds single tear
Drum-taut, paper-thin skin greys
Heart’s silence, ends life

Written for secret keeper, using the prompts: silence – eyes – heart – drum – life

Great haiku. It’s more haunting than grim I think.

I was quite disturbed by this video, actually. It does seem rather restless and tortured.
Thought your haiku was great, very apt.

A moment of silence is in order. Also, miss the essence of Bowie being part of this world. I feel the intensity of your feelings in your tightly formed Haiku. Beautiful tribute. – jk
