HAIKU

Solo

 

                        pumice
the upward march
of grassland
 
   
  autumn —
bones of an old man ...
blend in
   
before snow
how silent the birds —
sparrow tongue tea
 
   
  cold day at the beach
a man casts his line
    only twice
 
a museum of moons shadows on the stone  
   
  starfish
in a tide pool
soliloquy
   
February park.
A line of ice on each twig.
Gulls carry the sea.
 
   
  february sun —
a can nods through
the water's reflections
 
I'm left with my lips.
The winter didn't touch
My breath.
