THREE HAIKU-LIKE POEMS

 

 

I

AZURE DREAMS

One billow, one, one,
Kiss of the sea to the sleep of the seashore.
Beneath the sun, dreams of the sand by the azure.

 

 

II

DUSK SHORE

Blue brown black,
Through the dusk toward Night
Whispers of silence slipping to sleep.

 

 

III

THE ELEGANCE OF SILENCE

(After eight years of crystal silence, she writes blind words just to say once we were friends. Blank words with a hidden cry of quartz in them. A mineral tear, ice and blood in it. Once she had wide-winged words to write, eagle-proud like comets. Now her letter is like a dull palimpsest of her Soul... an offense to our crystal Silence.)

Pristine the Silence like summit-air, unvoiced chime-bird frémissement.
Still the Hill, mute and aloof.
Down Stream’s chuckle; cracked embers’ crackle.
