Analysis of Silence (20 haiku - small poems)
a child afraid to step
over the snow
gloomy alley –
crushing chestnut flowers
under my wheelchair
empty cell –
a white lace covers
winding road –
wherever I turn my eyes
silent sunset –
a stairway of light
around the steeple
on the snail's shell
one way ticket
for the morning train –
frosty night –
the moon hides
in a willow's hollow
snowbound grave –
a rose hip branch
clings to the cross
cemetery fir –
a broken angel's wing
summer sunset –
once I used to pick
railway bridge –
on the way home
leaning towards light
a small cactus
lost in the city –
golden wax cherries
in the bus station
nebula spectrum –
a young apricot tree
blooms over night
I wish the night
had never come –
New Year's Eve –
a passer-by between
waves roll over
the headless stones
peaceful day –
the left half of the moon
neighbouring the sun
someone has to climb
