Parallax by Mark Gilbert

A Haiku Sequence

arch of sandstone
            strange                                 constellations
the same                                                    old moon

my reflection
travelling backwards
into my past

Hubble telescope
observing the past
and the future

*”my reflection” was previously published by The Haiku Foundation for the Window Haiku feature in April 2018
