Helen Buckingham, UK
 

 

 

 

Haiku

 

new town
losing ourselves
in its reflection

 

 

Year of the Rat...
yesterday's rubbish
ripe for collection

 

 

in the plastic
sauce tomato
no tomato

 

 

PR trip
her husband returns
bearing sticks for her hair

 

 

night class
learning to curse
in Japanese
