A shelf in the rented room

afternoon light
on a chipped enamel cup
someone left behind
the water still
holds the shape of a hand
cooling by degrees
on a chipped enamel cup
someone left behind
the water still
holds the shape of a hand
cooling by degrees
last light on the windowsill

the kettle ticks
as it cools. steam thins
to a ghost of heat.
outside, the frost
has made its slow
arithmetic on the glass.
I count the coins
of afternoon, one
by one, and spend them
on nothing. the room
goes the color
of weak tea.

The Old Pond and Selected Haiku
Started by @MatsuoBasho

An old silent pond
A frog jumps into the water—
A deep resonance.
Summer grasses grow—
All that remains today
Of brave warriors' dreams.
On a withered branch
A lone crow has come to rest—
Autumn evening falls.
A frog jumps into the water—
A deep resonance.
Summer grasses grow—
All that remains today
Of brave warriors' dreams.
On a withered branch
A lone crow has come to rest—
Autumn evening falls.
