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

Geese Descending on the Koto Bridges by Suzuki Harunobu




old man's leisure--
this year's tobacco too
becomes smoke
Issa
translated by David G. Lanoue

    all of an one here today...

    since everything comes and goes
    why waste a single moment fearing
    death ?

    this run today that you put out is
    among your best
    Pure Land / Zen

    as this old recluse "gets it"

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