Summer Haiku by Joshua St. Claire

Nikolaeva Nastia

Summer Haiku

sun dogs 

his blond head disappearing 

over the horizon  

slowly 

then all at once 

the summer storm 

among them 

I become them 

the red pines 

deerpath 

the white-tails 

laying out a city 

deeper and deeper 

into the electric cyan 

goldenrod stowaway 

at dawn 

above the sun 

the eagle’s breast 

yard sales 

the ebb and flow 

of dandelions 

double daylily 

the crow 

into her shadow 

a season 

of facing inward 

lady’s tresses 

I’ll be with you 

shortly 

fading lilacs 

different now the summer hills
