Indian Summer haibun

A chapter in the book 2017 JAPANESE POETRY

haibun (king of nothing)

by Gypsy Blue Rose

The weather is getting warm in Sacramento.  This morning on my way to the store, I saw a king walking towards me.  His shimmering cadet blue cape waved haphazardly in the wind giving him an ethereal quality. As he moved closer I noticed it was not a king’s cape, it was a thermal blanket.  I realized he was a homeless man on his way to nowhere.  As he walked by me, we exchanged glances and bowed slightly.

eyes ablaze
reflect Indian Summer-
king of nothing
