immersed in genarations
of old dust

Adelaide

old dust
we become closer friends
this hot and cold night

Alan

night owl
along the roof tops
the sound of fog

Don

fog horn
marks time amongst
anchored boats

red dawn —
his face slapped
by an autumn chill  ~ don


I write haiku because they're there ...
