Thoughts of Greece: Seven Haiku
forgotten temple . . .
a yellow flower
offers itself
ancient grove —
an orange falls
into its shadow
grains of sand . . .
each ant
a Sisyphus
a goldfinch flies
into blinding sun —
thoughts of Icarus
sunflower field —
playing hide-n-seek
with the cyclops
afternoon light . . .
a single bird singing
in the amphitheatre
cold Aegean sun —
the temple
half stone, half shadow
