Sin Is Everywhere
FYI: In Christian theology, "missing the mark" (or "hamartia" in Greek) is a metaphor for sin, signifying failing to meet God's standards or purpose.
And Matthew 24:12-13
12 Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
This haiku could be read as a prequel to the following:
no one for miles
the billboard declares
SIN IS EVERYWHERE

a flock of seagulls
between ocean and sky
the touch of breeze

the unspoken
gnaw into our regret
For Sale sign

her eyes' warmth
through bulletproof glass
jail guard's stare
