Haiku
How fresh it looks / after the raging storm: / a red spring rose 10:3, 23 (a)
In his mask of bone / the moon knocks at my window / Dead man, let me sleep 8:4, 45 (r)
it’s autumn / Cezanne’s cardplayers / move north / through the trees 8:4, 45 (r)
Moon / on / no / one 8:4, 45 (r)
Overtaking and passing her / I saw / she wasn’t worth the trouble 8:2, 46 (r)
She’ll put the daffodils / in the broken / coke bottle / on your window sill 8:4, 45 (r)
the wind: a grey man / carrying an empty cage — / where is the lost bird? 8:4, 45 (r)
Those dry Persian rugs / on the hood / of her pickup / such a bright meadow 8:4, 45 (r)
tonight children / shake their shoes / at the cold wind / in black sunflowers 8:4, 45 (r)
After a night’s sleep / with her love, / she has a restful nap alone. 8:2, 46 (r)
Ombra / Satan’s cape / tied at my shoulder / holds me in place / like zero 8:4, 45 (r)
Look! Preening their feathers / how many vultures there are / sitting among the eagles. 2:4, 16 (a)
