Haiku   first of November freshly painted tombstones where candles flicker     first of November the sun shines mightily on silent tombs     first of November the grief of a widow stored in her kerchief     first of November tomb of the undertaker sits at a corner     first of November a stray black cat crosses the beggar's path     first of November the long and scorching trek to the unmarked graves     November scene piles of trash at the graveyard's silent domain
