Haiku by Patricia Prime
brain tumourshe rallies to show photos
of a hiking trip
playing Schubert
the pianist lifts
her long fingers
at the sea’s edge
ghost tracks of gulls
and crabs
railway crossing
a mile-long freight train
tiptoes through
in tidal mud
a marooned oar
stands upright
garage sale
although they aren’t gold
trinkets glitter
whitened field
blanketed horses
lower their muzzles
attic dust
on a wooden chest
fingerprints
from edge to edge
the sunset
fills the sky
death bed
my friend wrapped in a blanket
like a china doll
dry river
balanced on a flat rock
the heron
sunshine after rain
the picnic umbrella
remains furled
Balzac et Sand
a bookmark sent
from Paris
tiled roof
the ever-present calls
of pigeons
edge of the forest
the trail disappears
in the undergrowth
wind-blown clouds
the child says he sees
a horse in the sky
erasing the clouds
a flock of geese
cross the sky
