Friday haiku 94

In this ancient light
The spirits of fisher folk
Dancing on the lake

Riga, my Riga

In the antique shop
on the ground floor
of the building
where my parents lived
the year they married
I thought I heard someone
call my name
as if I lived there
too, so long before
my birth in the camp.

Friday haiku 86

The spring wind sputters,
too tired to raise a ruckus,
bored already.

A circle, closing

That split
between life and death
is not a border,
but eternity,
not a doorway
to an endless future,
but an escape
from the chains of time,
not a shattering,
but a mending,
not the end of the line,
but a circle,
closing.

Friday haiku 66

A sunlit patch in winter
the wild song of geese
returning
