Haiku: 102 to 105


102
the vet killed the rat
age hung like fog in the air
everyone felt cold.

103
i don’t love you
i have always hated snow –
both of you are here.

104
please lift up your head
i have nothing to tell you
have faith someone does.

105
don’t sing the words
you’ll lose them to the wind
who will believe you?

Haiku: 98 to 101


98
the chicken was drunk
he crossed the road singing songs –
we asked the question.

99
her hospital gown
keeps the men hanging around
but not her husband.

100
a sky full of moon
your broken heart tells on you –
now you tell on her.

101
your husband is gone
i am a country away
is this an affair?
