Scott Metz

Seven “Contemporary Haiku”




the only
blue is
a bucket
being carried

__

the factory’s mouth opens a little seagull

__

which window is
raining which window
inhales a house

__

a wind wounded blue crows are crows

__

here’s a feather
stuck to the sky or
is it your blood

__

thinking of what the leaves look brighter

__

   gutting the mosquito
of its ocean
   and the light
