UNDER THE BASHO 2022 (5 postku+2 haiku)

 UNDER THE BASHO 2022


autumn rain

.getting what
I walked into the room for.

 *

 

crushed moth footprint on the cheap hotel wall

  

 *

after the funeral
a bird
pecking at something i can't see

 *

“it’s not a race,” he tells me, and my stroke slows down
(in the distance a mascletá)

 *

jacaranda in bloom
three men circle-jerking in a room



*

clothesline shadow of an empty sock swaying, swaying


*

a statue to “Hope”
after the bird flies away
only shit remains

Haiku featured in The Haiku Foundation Volunteers Anthology 2022

 Our Garden: The Haiku Foundation Volunteers Anthology 2022


(Note: Uguisu is a Japanese bush warbler, often translated as nightingale because of the beauty of its song. It is a kigo for Spring and its song changes over the course of the season and is especially beautiful at the beginning of Spring.)
