Faint

The following “Haiku from Index Cards” explore faintness.

faint cirrus clouds—

a shiny penny

still on the train tracks

             (written 2007, published 2018)

faint scent of plum—

    the judge unfolds

the jury’s verdict

             (written 2003, published 2007)

faint trail—

the abandoned rowboat

filled with wildflowers

             (written 2005, published 2007; published in error with “trace” instead of “trail”)
