Black eyes examine
the gasping rabbit body
sweet hot red broken
I had to wake up at 4.30 to get out of the house at 5.30am. On my drive to the train station I saw a crow who’d just swooped down to test the corpse of rabbit roadkill. It must’ve been fresh, the crow looked pensive as if any minute many more birds would descend and take it away. That’s all I saw, I drove on.
The train station was cold, I had a jacket on. I was happy to get into the warmth. As the train hurtled northwards, I noticed the dull grey of morning give way to blazing sunshine. Summer had arrived.
Timid dawn lumbers
the mists shimmer burn away
summer’s love blazes
Two Haiku’s today, but my first of the year which cites summer.
