Haiku


Looking from Vysehrad across the Vltava toward Prague Castle
A blue and white train
crossing the rusting iron bridge
above five white swans.
Natural Order
Weathered gray tombstones
above the soft green Spring grass
- death shadowing life.


Under a hot sun
women waiting for business
hug the thin noon shade.
A blue and white train
crossing the rusting iron bridge
above five white swans.
Weathered gray tombstones
above the soft green Spring grass
- death shadowing life.
A lighted window
asks in the early morning dark
what daylight will bring.
