for I remember

how very little control

outside the window

birds building their nests

sometimes to a neighborly

invariably left

of tranquillity

pitiless mirror with square

of conversation

  • first published in American Haiku

soon return to share

unpleasant for a stranger

across the window

such ceremonies

reflection of the sunset

corners of the room

beside the schoolroom

effectually dispelled

of uncertainty

silence of the night

material obstacles

in contemplation

away at the same

with the infinite patience

melancholy things

perhaps too well known

from all other interests

in the afternoon

  • first published in House of Haiku
