Haiku

by Jim Norton
the hill road -
curving out of sight
into my heart
planning my moves
across the living room
it comes to this
a bowl of beans
and when I've eaten them
there's the bowl
distant chimes
thoughts settle into silence
lit by sounds
ripping fart
this heavenly evening
undisturbed
fat rain
each drop dripping
its own way
clouds in a tidal pool his ashes
the famous view
obscured by seafog
whitethorn blossom
boot-scrapings
drying in the Spring sun
lightfoot lads
an old pine
just a little Spring warmth
sticky juices
edge of the blind
bluegreyblue drifting
grey blue grey
