Jim Kacian Reads A Selection Of His Haiku


i hope i’m right where the river ice ends
 
Frogpond 35:2
 
 
the large gone and in its place empty
 
Roadrunner 13.1
 
 
it won’t end
and it won’t get better—
crow’s caw
 
 
almost too dark to see bats
 
 
catch and release
a little shine left
on my fingers
 
the heron's nest XIV:1
 
 
her words inventing another piece of my mind
 
roadrunner 11:2
 
 
no nillies without willies the wild tornado night
 
 
older than god
the cave mouth
to hell
 
roadrunner 11:1
 
 
the earth mother and always some question who’s the father
 
Haiku North America Anthology 2011
 
 
out of place just in time
 
palimpsest (Red Moon Press, 2011)
 
 
a maw with feathers spring
 
 
somewhere becoming rain becoming somewhere
 
 
night rumblings
heavy freight being moved
in the dark
 
 
no there there dark matter
 
 
waiting for the now thunder when the time comes
