19 Haiku

Breeze through the plaza
teeming with people at lunch time—
the smell of fried food

Morning train station—
uniformed young man strides by
smiling, with a gun

A solid grey day—
people so slow and sleepy
in the calm still air

*

Cracking explosion
rips through the packed evening train—
old man dropped his cane

Lying under sky,
my breath rising and falling,
cars breezing by

I do some yoga
before the party—and now
I don’t want to go!

*

Drunk man savoring
his cigarette on a cold
stone bench at dusk

Alone on the beach—
friend at the end of the world
calling out my name

A beautiful mood—
you don’t see it go, you just
recognize it’s gone

*

Caterpillar train
crawling out of its tunnel—
sleepy grey morning

Whispering rhythm
from some earphones on the train—
sleepy grey morning

A parade of garbage
sliding along the asphalt—
cloudy morning breeze


 *

Cotton fiber clouds
lacing a blue summer sky—
so many faces!


On the phone he sounds
like a little guy who squints
upward when he talks

Everywhere I go
I hear a chirping cricket—
it’s my belt buckle!

*

Honking geese and whoosh
of a train by the platform—
heading home from work

Black bird on a post—
doesn’t budge when people pass
on the path at dusk

Little dragonfly
buzzing between green branches—
slow-falling feather

*

A green baseball field
speckled with stars of seagulls—
misty morning calm
