Haiku (11-15)
11
there were only three,
and yet could be called rightly
feral-pig stampede
12
juxtaposing this:
what cyclic seasons make with
concrete obelisk
13
pigeon, I have seen
your European cousins perched
in granite garlands
14
yellowjacket nest
any surface seems to do,
the hanging ladder
15
whose blood spurts blush the
coliseum floor, fainting,
gores the matador
