May Day

the engine block buried
in her garden

Made in GIMP with La Guapita font and some drop shadow.

I believe the haiku is an example of what poetry nerds call deep image. Except, you know, the engine’s right there below the surface.

Solidarity with all those who struggle for better working conditions and a greener planet. Happy May Day!

I live in an Appalachian hollow in the Juniata watershed of central Pennsylvania, and spend a great deal of time walking in the woods. My books of poetry include FAILED STATE: HAIBUN, ICE MOUNTAIN: AN ELEGY, BREAKDOWN: BANJO POEMS, and ODES TO TOOLS.
