Receding Haiku
by Bill Yarrow
love weaves a perforated web
between the spikes
of longing
testy liquor goes to bed
next to a nest
of wasps
God in his infinite wisdom
rescinds the free will
of dogs
between the spikes
of longing
testy liquor goes to bed
next to a nest
of wasps
God in his infinite wisdom
rescinds the free will
of dogs
