David G. Lanoue: 5 Haiku

3 March 2009




O Holy Night
the burglar's footprints
in snow



 
 
 



after her suicide
we learn
her name



 
 
 



crying tears
of pigeon shit
the bronze king



 
 
 



food poisoned in France
a night
of drizzles



 
 
 



pizza parlor
after the murders
help wanted
