sunrise on the beach –
in the pockets of your coat
yesterday's rain
Lavana Kray
Almost always, in a good haiku, the author appeals to raw sensations that, unexpectedly, recall an event—one that is more profound and more emotional. I'm trying to approximate that.
One of the partners, now alone, goes out early to the beach in the cool air and randomly grabs the other’s leftover coat. That’s how they realize, from the sensation of dampness, that yesterday, they had walked together in the rain.
The sensation is surprising and deeply moving. Vibrant. Maybe, in that damp pocket, two hands once rested—fingers intertwined.
