Haiku by Samo Kreutz

 

HAIKU

 

headwaters ...

flowing forcefully

a new-born's cry

 

imagining

a small boy imagining

me as an old man

 

forty days rain

soaked to the bone

her menopause

 

pilgrimage ...

a faithful companion

the juicy apple

 

smell of petunias

hunched underneath

Jesus on the cross

 

rough sea ...

entangled in plastic

his ashes

 

j'accuse ...

that crow's echo

in my dream
