Haiku by Sanjuktaa Asopa
breathe slow, slower…
fog is settling
in the woods
fallen pine cone
I pick up the scent
of a mountain night
moonset–
the cricket hides its song
under a clod of earth
ginko walk
both squirrel and I
are foragers
sleeping late
a thrush leaves its whistle
near my door
spring mud …
craters blossom/appear
on a Kyiv street
I soften
my point of view
Yucca blossoms
backwater cove …
an old man fishes out
a bit of sunset
striking the first chord
a robin’s
long trill
unpaved path
I pause a while to listen
to the wind
