Mississippi
River Haiku, Part 2
light
rain on window
wet leaves covering
pavement
daylight ends so soon
riding cable car
nearly straight up Dubuque's
bluff
river comes in view
strange giant fiddle
waits patiently on silo
for someone to play
from corner of eye
bird flying from tall
tree top
no, only a leaf
retired postal man
now shines shoes in rich
hotel
servant forever
burning autumn leaves
in piles along side of
road
car passes through smoke
old temple ruins
train whistle through
dark night air
last century's ghosts
cascading water
flows under old stone
arch bridge
shiver up my spine
steamboat leaves from
dock
music from calliope
wafts through river air
climbing up loose stone
small cavern in limestone
bluff
what need for motel
long distance phone call
snow flakes fall on Wheeler
Hill
distant miles away
shadow on river
low, late afternoon sunshine
swirling back current
