Haiku


                                                               snow day
                                                            remembering
                                                           when it was fun

Haiku Sequence



                                                    Demolition Day
                                                         
                                                    still seeing curtains
                                                    starched and blowing
                                                    the boarded windows
                                                         
                                                    littered asphalt
                                                    the blue-white hydrangeas
                                                    just a memory
                                                         
                                                    waves of dust rise
                                                    with the crumbling house
                                                    faded snapshots
 
                                                    "I'm home, I'm home"
                                                     a child calls from down the street
                                                     I look back
