Analysis of Haiku (16-20)
16
don't rush, don't rush my
sweltering-summer snowshoe wings,
cicada molting
17
with legion new-sprung
onomatopoeias stuns
the demon, Zgomot
18
a uniformed man
beside the monarched milkweeds
sleeps in starched cotton
19
dirt-borne seedlings yearn
sunward, some day to become
her pink-gold roses
20
goose-down pillow notes
the dream, then is discarded
quill by poking quill
