Five Haiku

Contributor: r soos

- -
late

name on a placard
outside the hospital door
now all that is left

+

gather

all the leaves to burn
in one pile this afternoon
set the flame tonight

+

sleep

empty body forms
the shield atop the mattress
protecting journeys

+

sick

your shallow breathing
under a sheet supports the
outline of body

+

drawing

everything in line
with empty colors inside
repeating patterns

r soos has 20 books of poetry still in print. he is aging with a grace no one believes.
