Stop Time – A Portrait In Five Haiku

By Vijaya Sundaram
Russet leaves shift air
Moon sailing behind dark trees
Alone, she wanders.
Time gallops above.
Bright star-scalloped sky leans down.
Eyes hollow, she stops.
Time is a rider
Kicking up the dust of stars.
She closes her eyes.
If something exists
And you close your eyes to it
Does it fade away?
The rider rides on
But she steps into the dark,
Blindfolded, erased.
