HAIKU
Patrick Sweeney
|
a waste place
how then
the silver-spotted hesperid |
|
| |
|
| |
sulphur butterfly:
why do you come
as a drunken man |
| |
|
on what other planet
the shadow
of bamboo |
|
| |
|
| |
up close
sea cucumber
have we met |
|
|
deep snow
from the back of the house
she only sings the chorus |
|
| |
