train-top ride
a migrant boy weighs
dawn's early light
Modern Haiku, 57:1, 2026
FYI: L3 alludes to the opening lines of "The Star-Spangled Banner:"
O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly streaming?
