Wearing a dead
man’s clothes
I visit the place
where my father’s
ashes were spread
Spring rain
accompanies me

Alan Catlin has a new book coming out soon called Still Life with Apocalypse (Shelia Na Gig Editions) that could be subtitled: Snapshots of modern life in America. He hopes it is not a prophetic book.
Wonderfully haikuish! Each word weighs! Top-notch!
