From the Author's Preface:

"When school is out, I get to step down from my analytical frame of mind as a professor, and spend more time in a reflective or meditative state of mind that is more conducive to writing haiku." —Randy M. Brooks

holding hands . . .
until we reach
the blackberries
funeral procession . . .
snowflakes blowing
into the headlights
after all these years
she asks me about her mother . . .
I put on another log
dirt farmer's wife
at the screen door—
no tractor sound
