Karen Craigo - Poem
Haiku, late summer
(a prayer)
Father, forgive me
for wavering unfaithful
here, amid sparrows.
Someonešs radio
just wonšt quit playing love songs.
Leaves pin me to grass.
Išve cut down an elm
to carve out a monument
to scattered petals.
Lightning in the west
advances this direction,
cracks in the ceiling.
Let me use plain words:
I donšt think I can handle
this autumn alone.
The leaves curl upward,
have learned to count on each drop
of water you give.
