William Hart Reads A Selection Of His Haiku
trip’s end
a glowing farmhouse
niched in the milky way
Wildcat Road, Timberline Press, 2000
each nail
grieves in its own voice
leaving the wood
Wildcat Road, Timberline Press, 2000
hammer duet
echoes off
the darkening woods
Wildcat Road, Timberline Press, 2000
gracefully
haphazard
butterflight
Wildcat Road, Timberline Press, 2000
album photo
on three faces
the same nose
Wildcat Road, Timberline Press, 2000
gone the summer dream
erased by rain
through the windowscreen
Wildcat Road, Timberline Press, 2000
ancient headstones
the names and numbers
worn to mutters
Wildcat Road, Timberline Press, 2000
tag end of a summer
pulling weeds
barefoot in the rain
Wildcat Road, Timberline Press, 2000
cloud glutton
you swallow a mountain
then fall asleep
Cloud Eats Mountain, Red Moon Press, 2013
a swaying branch
is all we know about
the unseen bird
Cloud Eats Mountain, Red Moon Press, 2013
while we dreamed
a lily bloomed
in the gift bouquet
Cloud Eats Mountain, Red Moon Press, 2013
a severed dream
lingers into my workday
listless mistakes
Cloud Eats Mountain, Red Moon Press, 2013
arrival gate
all those who aren’t her
come out first
Cloud Eats Mountain, Red Moon Press, 2013
two boys
one butterfly net
no butterflies
Cloud Eats Mountain, Red Moon Press, 2013
uncut grass
bent low by dewdrops
the burdens of love
Cloud Eats Mountain, Red Moon Press, 2013
