The Season of Kindling
A quadri-haiku
Scattered Autumn rays
Speckle the scorched forest ground
Like droplets of rain.
Winter’s fired hearth
With gusts winnowed from my heart
Gives small sips of warmth.
Spring dampens my skin -
Charred and wet like tar glue -
Mulching my cocoon.
The haze of summer
Plagues the land with smokey clouds
Drowning in black tides.
