Poems: Haiku by Beki Reese

7 Haikus
By: Beki Reese


For Caleb

silent monitor-
every unbreath whispers
"he is gone"

-------

reflection
in my neighbor's window
-strawberry moon

-------

down a gravel road
my shadow and myself
exchange greetings

-------

morning cloud cover
filters sunlight into gray
- even birds are still.

-------

Wild geese flying south;
shadows that cross the moonlight
cross the water, too.

-------

Deep ocean silence:
black sea and starless sky
become one.

-------

In Memory of Emperor Hirohito

Outside the palace,
in a sea of umbrellas,
one hatless mourner.
