(that haiku the Mate said I should write)

sunset aft ‘gain
one passenger calls it
beautiful

smells like old rubber and poutine

in this hazy sunset
you can almost smell the fire
burning Nova Scotia

Mud Bodies: December Haiku (1-3)


1. (broken haiku)

Sunday before Christmas
high water threats
gone: the cold stays


2.

Bits of snow surfing
on the bitter winter winds
on a quiet wharf


3.

These bones echo
the river’s cutting currents
this body: a mud bank
