Rooster, a haiku sequence by Randy Brooks

mostly dark 

the horses call us 

first

 

breaking light

a short cut

to the woodpile

 

harvest hands . . .

a farm table

of biscuits and gravy

 

morning frost

on grandpa’s old tractor

cough, cough, cough

 

an owl floats

just over the barn

come daylight

—Randy Brooks
