Haiku (31-35)
31
whose tinkling leaves
syncopate the gar-tail's splash
root, too, the black silt
32
brute noon's decoupage
prone on earth and holey winged,
butterfly abused
33
dusk, drawn-curtain gift,
patinates her aura bound
by golden hour
34
fly perched there in time
contemplates on wicker blinds
a maggot childhood
35
from bombast's bludgeon
fled to rest in solitude
but found it nowhere
