Puntarenas February 2012

Henry Fizer

April 22 
Haiku
distant throaty bark
of a howler monkey says
it's time to be up

the mountain trembles
half a second then subsides
earthquake Tico style

lovesick cicadas
shatter the afternoon with
their funeral song

country fiddle moans
headlights pass on the highway
good talk with good friends

adiós los ticos
adiós la pura vida
adiós corazόn
