Noon Sun

The following “Haiku from Index Cards” all walk the day.

noon sun—

fallen bark moss

swaying the turtle

             (written 1994, published 1997; see “Thornewood Poems” sequence)

noon sun

picnic cheese

sweating

             (written 1996, published 2000)

noon sun—

the curve of wet sand

around a glass float

             (written 1992, published 1994; this poem originally said “midday sun”)

noon sun—

the surgeon’s words

still ringing

             (written 2018, published 2019; see “From Faces and Places”)
