7 Haiku by Patrick Sweeney

 





7 Haiku


the sublime neutrality of a river stone




mist tangled in cryptomeria 
grudgingly 
drifting on




on the way back from apple picking
I secretly 
smelled my hands




if anyone should ask
about the house sparrows,
I made notes




Yahtzee and the cosmological constant on the same night




dark river wind
the willows
shoot the cuffs




she was the first to see the electrocuted elephant in my burned-out bulb








Patrick Sweeney is a short form poet and a devotee of the public library.
