Selected Haiku Sequence: Chronicle of a Death Unfolds

half moon rising ...
each day she slips
further away

hospital window
the light of the dying day
on her face

cancer ward
at the end of the hallway
blinking EXIT

winter moonlight
on her indented pillow --
hospice room

the way
she tapped my shoulder ...
pattering rain
