in the twilight hours
waiting for the swallows return
I dream of you
~~~
in early evening
the sound of the mourning dove
so much lonelier
~~~
in the somber light
like so many nights before
keeping vigil
~~~
searching for your star
under the strawberry moon
a cricket chirps

Waiting for someone who never shows up is a lonely enterprise.

I really like this set – there’s such a delicate ache to all of the haiku, which, because the images are so lovely, has a pleasurable quality to it.
