Jim Kacian: 5 Haiku

1 March 2009
the endless loop of the men's room towel this morning
in murky light in grand-dad's attic gelignite
beneath the Milky Way an evening soft with moths
pain fading the days back to wilderness
between statues the rest of history

First published in (1) modern haiku 39:3, (3) presence 36 and (4) roadrunner (2007). (5) won 1st Prize Kusamakura 2008

One Response to Jim Kacian: 5 Haiku

  1. Alan Summers says:

    My two favourite haiku are:

    beneath the Milky Way an evening soft with moths

    between statues the rest of history

    The second haiku reminds me what the 'Angel of the North' artist is planning to do in London later this year with the empty plinth in London when he will choose living monuments i.e. people staying 24/7 for an entire month!
