Winter Light: A Haiku Sequence

daybreak
the wrinkles deepen
in my dream

December rose…
looking at the photos
of my youth

before the altar
don't close your ears to my cry
wooden Jesus

edge of the bridge
I measure the weight
of snowflakes

pass each other
without casting glances
footprints in new snow

twilight
my shadow one step
ahead of me

power failure --
losing the world
I start to see myself
