Room Full of Fireflies: 8 Haiku

1

In a steaming pool
deep inside the mountain
I sit, laughing

2

for a thousand years
at the burning door
waiting for ashes

3

At noon
on the mountain's summit
a shadow's birth

4

Its work finished
a garden wall
stays where it is

5

Turquoise Trail
people everywhere
buying the sky

6

all day
smoke from the burning forests
giving shade

7

Just before dying
a room full of smoke
a room full of fireflies

8

A shimmering mountain
no more real
than myself
