~haiku #22~
two shoes lie mirrored
forgotten when spring cleaning -
the wake remembered
The use of 'lie' in line 1 is meant, a play on words to try and create a double image /
feeling depending on how it is read.
1. Two shoes laying side by side, a mirror reflection of each other
2. The shoes, just by their presence there imply that they are used, which as the reader
discovers later in the Haiku is in fact a lie.
