─ june 2005 ─
Written
with haiku friends
Gabriel Rosenstock, Jim Norton, Maeve
O'Sullivan,
Tom Larkin, Glenda Cimino, Gilles Fabre
and Christine Broe
on a walk along
the Dodder river on Saturday 18 June 2005
so few butterflies
suddenly there’s one
I hardly notice
iron-bound
the old mill chimney leans
into summer cloud
Jim Norton
weeds growing tall
on the iron footbridge
behind, a salley sways
one by one
our ginko leader helps us
across the waterfall
Maeve O'Sullivan
where the willow stood
watching the river flow -
seven people
Christine Broe
The wild duck
slows…
to the
pace
of the river
Moillíonn
an lacha
fhiáin…
luas na habhann
Gabriel Rosenstock
