Haiku (Summer 1989)
By: Don Arenz
Haiku poems of Don Arenz submitted to VF by Justin Stone.
Coffee fills the cup
I drink and think of Jessie.
No words come to me.
The mind travels far.
The touch of the earth awaits
the soles of my feet.
The tea is ready.
We speak and then are silent.
Gently the earth turns.
We listen and write.
Patient with one another.
Student and teacher.
