Shearsman 54

Gary Hotham

 

Four Haiku


 

well lit vacancy signs
on the ocean front street—
an evening rain heavier

 

 


in the distance
out of our hearing—
deer the hunters look for

 

 


my address on the envelope—
a long ago hero
on the postage stamp

 

 


end of season rates—
old paint over old paint
chips off
