the dawn comes
blue gray and quiet
after the thunder
:
swifts scream
along the high street
traffic crawls
:
facing the rain
on an upturned boat
a heron hunched
:
slipstream
thistledown
splits from the thistle
:
twilight
the color of the cornflowers
deepens
:
a slice of melon
thrown away
the end of summer
:
a cold room
the shape of the last guest
in the empty chair

HAIKU FOR MARTIN LUCAS
May 7, 2014 § Leave a comment
a new
anthology I learn
of his passing
his brother
concerned
for days
on the page
before me in
the old anthology
went for a walk
left his keys his phone
his pills
said yes
once to one of
my poems
“Is that from your
technique or the toughness
of your mouth?”
your death
attributed to
bird-watching
a collection
of flowers that’s
all it means
his last photo
he looks younger
than me
1962-2014
