beneath a stone
a crab scuttling
constellations
Haiku Notebook 2021
unsighted behind the whites of my eyes
unable to rise
the river sounds
a waterfall
Auden's unseen God
once or twice
He was heard
an image of self
breasts
the milky way
not so dead
a blooming satellite
crests the horizon
the long night—
a snail's neck
retracts
the long night—
a whale song echolocates
its meaning
the long night—
an absence abandoned
to the tomb
the long night—
condensation
clouds the window
the long night—
my prayer life
follows the river
the long night—
my darkest before dawn
resurrection
autumn wind —
a butterfly grows
more detached
dawn chorus
an ancient silence recalls
the human absence
Tane’s children
mesh their waking songs
into breaking light
dawn maiden
a karakia bursts forth
from the earth
