Haiku by Jim Kacian
*
1
new year’s eve
the future begins
again
2
by the edge
of an empty sea
youth
3
a night-lit bridge—
the oarsman’s shadow rows
across the bricks
4
chance encounter —
halfway through
you light new candles
5
the oldest thing is right now
6
noonday heat a lizard gone into its shadow
7
walking in the rain our stories run together
8
on the drop cloth last year’s green
9
a saint in godless country middle age
10
Siberia just like my mind after all
