I walk past row on row of granite stones. The grass is usually freshly mown, but lately vegetation doesn't seem to grow, and so, I kneel where seeds have been sown.

Autumnal Reverie [Tanka]
wet yellow leaves stuck to a rain-slick headstone, and i'm in a land not of tropical monsoons, but which knows autumn

Graveyard Haiku
a headstone
worn unreadable
stone outlived bones
fresh flowers
and wild tufts of grass
tell mixed stories
granite mourners
draped over gravestones,
unweeping
no pyramid
is so sublime the Pharaoh
welcomed death
the potter’s field
has mystique unknown to
mausoleums
