- MARK O'FLYNN
-
- Haiku
- Spiderweb hanging
- in its heavy nest of lace
- patient for dinner.
-
Climbing the mountain
-
a black bird shrieks into the
-
shadow of evening.
-
Cars negotiate the bitumen
-
ordered as ants at a sugar spill.
-
The mirror stares back
-
long after I have left its
-
empty reflection.
