Haiku

 

a green eden
thirteen crosses
mark unknown graves

 

 

traffic jam
a yellow tractor
embroiled in the muddle

 

 

night class
even the teacher
watching the clock

 

 

Haiku Sequence

 

A Dandelion Season

 

for Angela 12/28/61-12/27/76

 

your first snapshot
dandelion fluff
sprouting from a blanket

your soil rich
we counted your cycles
scholar, poet, athlete

a drunk driver
on a winding curve
your bike airborne

a brilliant wildflower
they gathered you
from a weedy ditch

siren song
no carol of hope
no birthday wish

the final viewing
your golden head
crowning a casket
