Tessa Essex & Gary Grubbs: Wednesday Haiku, #107

 Antique cigar box



three years . . .
just the scent of his
cigar box is enough

These words
      Disappear too
Geese crossing
      The autumn sky

old man's leisure--
this year's tobacco too
becomes smoke

why waste a single moment fearing
death ?

among your best
Pure Land / Zen

Beautiful evocations of loss, in which even an ellipsis has poignant significance.
