DEJA VU HAIKU

Posted on October 18, 2022 by | 3 Comments

 

1.

Gray dust clouds rising

behind cows down powdered trails

off these bare mountains.

 

2.

The diesel feed truck

awakes a bawling chorus

to claim the canyon.

 

3.

All imperative

and hungry, it twists our guts—

La Niña pending.

      How good to hear from you, George. Difficult to get past immediate needs here and find the headspace to write, but little moisture in the forecast to settle the ever-present dust. Cheers!
