Haiku 9

When I am lonely
And go for a walk, I see
Everywhere the same
Autumnal dusk.

The monk Ryozen

(Sabishisa ni
Yado wo tachi ide
Nagamureb
Izuku mo onaji
Aki no yugure.)

Feels like winter just rolled in
on an Easterly wind
smelling of sulphur
and dead bonfires.

We found pieces
of the doomed spacecraft
littering a remote road
in the Mojave Desert.

Things sucked into a black hole
aren't permanently lost –
only until the end
and re-birth of the Universe.
Comforting.

Pitch black still.
How quickly the fig and prickly pear
gave way to the clementine
and chestnut again.
Each year seems to fly faster.

Stunning leaf colour
and mass of ladybirds.
One being eaten by spider!

Mass of stupidities. Yes.
Untrodden path.
No help, on the contrary.
An alien machinery.

Vladimir Ilyich Lenin



Fog burning off
in the Thames Valley
and an almost summer sun.
Heading for Cheltenham.

Listening to the surprisingly deep tones
of rain on the window I realise
I should have gone out
when I first had the idea.

Autumn begins today.
Equinox.
Time of crystallising breath.
Crunching leaves.
Spectacular light over the sea.
Hibernation. Rediscovery.
