HAIKU
Mathew V. Spano
|
Valentine's dusk
the widow takes down
her Christmas lights |
|
| |
|
| |
roadside leaves
at the bottom of the pile
the queen of hearts |
| |
|
fall
stuck in the rake's teeth
a snakeskin |
|
| |
|
| |
rainy day
in their newspaper hats
the latest casualties |
|
|
summer funeral
even the marine's tattoo
weeping |
|
