Cloudbursts: Five Haiku for Summer

i

Lying down on grass,

first asleep, then looking up--

Cloud grasshoppers leap!

ii

Afternoon silence,

what we are saying--

the clouds move on too.

iii

Lessening of light

when a cloud obscures the sun--

I am alone now.

iv

Sinking into sea,

the sun takes the clouds with it--

I am not alone.

v

Neither time nor pace,

I drink in the starry sky--

and let go the race.
