[October] 

“haiku fragments october”

 

reading zanzotto poppy

frammenti

prompts temporary writings

 

daikon shoots beetroot leaves make

diagrams

where a sower scored the patch

 

unopposed roses’ timely

explosions

finely pose blow decompose

 

reading the master’s work in

manuscript

all the great words he crossed out

 

faces fashions phones focus

reflections

faze in shop glass unfocus

 

are we anything more than

molecules

asks an upright scientist

 

logs are motes in fields fallen

particles

painted signed fred williams

 

passing train windows mobile

mosaic

stable rail ballast below

 

memorial park mower

daisy-rings

spring anew across long lawns

 

sakamoto’s delirious

inventions

turn to pindrops on ‘opus’

 

newspaper yesterday old

photographs

insubstantial confetti

 

handheld all the world’s micro

vanity

done delimit close vanished

 

ichiko aoba sings

promises

moon sparkles sparkles sparkles

 

jewellery gold whatever

trivia

beside life’s visible growth

 

splintered fractured blue

ceramic

casts cold eye in rich subsoil

 

twigs branches cover the street

cherry-pips

the path through all-day wind storm

 

spokes webs catches clip-ons of

umbrella

blown away by today’s gale
