Five Homeless Haiku
five homeless haiku
open door inviting
enter, search, touch, read, smell
coffee-stained words
from mother’s urn we draw
names for secret santa
ash blows away
new wrinkles daily
don’t despair
the dead won’t care
save whales and glaciers
polar bears and tiger cubs
humans not so much
here to view the corpse
should i smile or should i weep
what’s your view on sleep
