Six Haiku at Sunrise

Rerun from a year ago (17 Feb 2024)

Kennewick, Washington Sunrise -- photos by the poet

1. 
Wires stretched across the
horrible beautiful sky,
sending love and hate.

2. 
Utility pole,
electric crucifix, stands
in the blood-orange air.

3.
Globe willow next door,
revived from traumatic death,
buds in the sunrise.

4.
My neighborhood sky
stretching to infinity,
blue, orange, pink, gold.

5.
The sun itself clears
the cold horizon and shoots
its rays through bruised clouds.

6.
My window open,
the cold morning air strangely
suffused with warm thoughts.
