TEN HAIKU

:

by streetlight ants crawl out of the slot in the meter

:

in the blue of his eye some wires and behind them clouds

:

covered in graffiti the train car passes quickly through town

:

the faint shadows on the paper made by creases in the paper

:

all the color has settled to the bottom of the bowl

:

cold spring rain snail in its beak the crow blinks

:

a bead bounces on the linoleum she said it wouldn’t hurt

:

crushed by a tire the yellow pencil fans out from its metal end

:

briefly green from the copier two faces speaking to each other

:

rain dripping from a light bulb a car backfires

:
