Four Haiku
For ''Instructions for Disappearing'' Challenge
Little boy alone:
I start as a child with books.
No shared love with them.
*
School for achievement?
Certificates and good grades.
No sign of my life.
*
Less of me as I
travel, teach and live abroad.
Not much left to see.
*
Last home? My head and
heart will also come to smoke,
vapor and nothing.
