Selected Haiku
	scattering cabbage whites years later I still think of her	daffodil shoots— all these years as an accountant
	bulbs dividing underground we talk of children we cannot have	explaining it, my life sounds frivolous— holly berries
	migratory goose... both our reflections in the pond	migrating whales all our footprints wash away
