HAIKU
Eric Lehman
|
a beech crinkles words
like crowded bookshelf bindings
of elephant skin |
|
| |
|
| |
More tragic than the
puling pink pulp of a man,
this butterfly's death |
| |
|
She wears modern clothes,
But in those Baikal-blue eyes
A wintry taiga lives. |
|
| |
|
| |
Grandfather feldspar
Teaches a powerful truth:
Rock lives forever. |
|
|
Lichen kingdoms die
With every careless footfall
but I leave no trace. |
