Ten Haiku
spring showers...
I borrow peace
from the raindrops
moving home
the daffodils the same
but different
ice flower
the girl on my class register
no longer here
wild rosemary
dad asks who is in the photo
in his wallet
death moon
they strip the old man
down to his tattoo
red tide
the sound of water
silenced
lilac wine
I find mum's lipstick shade
discontinued
plum blossoms
too many questions
with no answers...
black ice
mum picks red stilettos
to wear at her funeral
bamboo curtain
a boy plays peek-a-boo
with the sun
